Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] No No No ! What Have You Done With My Tapes NBU 5.1GuysOk to confirm.....The tape labels are in the SCRATCH pool - quite how they got in there is a mystery!All I done, was ejected tapes from volume pool, replaced these tapes with new tapes and/or used media expired and placed them in the Scratch ready for this weekends backups!Still waiting on Veritas to contact me !!!As the reports module shows nothing for the media, I can only assume that somehow, Vol Manager has decided to expire these tapes (that had monthly backups, weekly full and diff backups!)Quite how is a mystery! I also went to find my Catalogue Backup tape, and now Netbackup does NOT see it in there! (although there is an entry in the Netbackup volume pool).I have no idea now what is going on!!! I am getting very desperate now :(((Simon

Subject: [Veritas-bu] No No No ! What Have You Done With My Tapes NBU 5.1I am in a little shock, so hoping someone can help explain this mystery!I ejected approx 30 tapes from NBU 5.1 MP2 on 2003 Server. The tapes were from varied volume pools.The eject process completed successfully, I stored the tapes in a safe, and replaced them with either new tapes or expired Media Tapes.Weekend came and backups ran - some still going, but its working!I just decided to see what was in the scratch pool, and by luke I happened to check some of the volume pools where I removed Media from them on Friday, only to discover there is no record of the tapes.By record I mean, the Volume Pool would show an entry for the tape, even though its not in the robot.Decided to check the other pools, and to my horror, there are no entries for these tapes!!!Starting to worry now, because I wonder what on earth has happened.I have noticed the SCRATCH pool is showing ALOT of Media ID's!!! Clearly not in the robot, but i cannot understand what has happened!Can anyone shed any light or help?Simon
