To add to the comments already if you want to freeze a lot of tapes in
one go id do a simple loop so you can forget it.
Once you have removed your scratch as previously explained try this to
freeze all other media :-

This script will get you the tapes in the jukebox for a particular
volume pool. You will need to change the awk string where i search for
P1000 to match what you robot is on an sgscan.
The bit which just lists whats in the jukebox is echo s s | tldtest -r
device path to robot
#!/bin/sh
#set -x
If you are going to use the below i suggest you do an inventory prior as
this is what netbackup thinks is in the jukebox but ops could have been
in and changed things around as they are unpredictable sorts ;)
Inventory :-
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmupdate -x -rn 0 -rt tld -rh `uname -n` -vh
`uname
Yeah i had come to that conclusion myself.
The only worrying thing was i didn't want to leave it to chance that the
raw partitions wouldn't appear on the client which didn't normally have
them. Its all san storage connected see and if someone adds a new volume
to the client with the same device
Has anyone seen exclude lists not excluding files for raw partitions?
I am running NB5.1 MP4 on solaris systems. I have a policy with a load
of raw partitions in the form :-
/backup/archive_log_bk
/backup/control
NEW_STREAM
/u03
/u08
I am surprised by the number of people using a single volume pool for
data backups. What about mixed retentions on media?
The way i do things is like this :-
Have a daily, weekly, monthly, offsite, logs tape pools ( as well as
netbackup, and none obviously )
Now whatever the policy and file
) then
have a full backup with a different retention than say a cumulative backup.

Agree. IMO simple for small to medium sized solutions is cumulative
incremental backups daily and full backups at weekends and at month end
with an offsite daily if required. This then defines sensibly you should
have 4 different retentions..
dailys 1 to 2 weeks retention. Reason: whats the point
I know exactly how it works im afraid and was posing the question to
people who use 1 tape pool.
What about mixed retentions?
To explain further i meant what about having different retentions on the
same media which you would need to turn on in order to have full backups
incremental etc to use
Correct. Unless you have mix retentions on media set which i think
everyone has agreed is a bad idea.
Your description below uses 4 tapes ( if one tape per backup is used )
which are all associated to the same volume pool.
IMO this is bad practice.
I do think it explains it well to the person

* Moving a tape
I don't think you can change volume pools of a tape if it has images on
it. It normally needs to be expired first, which of course will mean it
can be re-used.

Have you set NET_BUFFER_SZ at all on the clients? It may try and
increase the throughput buffer wise from client end where it was using
standard values before.

How long did this backup take?
I am slightly concerned
Im running Netbackup 5.0mp4 on solaris 8. Im getting really poor
performance backing up 2 windows clients. Like 10k a second. I have
been on them and the interfaces are set to 100/full which is correct.
I am therefore a bit stuff as when i have seen slow performance before
it has always been
/messages (Solaris) or the equivalent log ?

install the system or have any info
Windows clients are a paint for excludes so as suggested i use a .reg file.
As i deal with unix mostly i find it easier to ship a reg file around
when i installed the windows client.
Create your exclude list on a client through the gui or log onto the
client ( however timbuktu/Terminal
