Title: Managing Tape Rotations
I don't think that MEDIA_UNMOUNT_DELAY works with NBU 6.0 MP2.  Besides, I don't think the MEDIA_UNMOUNT_DELAY would work for me.  The backup occurs every hour, and if the tape needs changed, I don't want the full tape to sit for an hour before it's finaly ejected and a new tape put in, especially if more data has to spill over to a 2nd tape.

we used to use this in 3.4 and 4.5, it may still work in 5.x or 6.0. put it in bp.conf. i think the delay number is in seconds, we only needed the tape to stay in a short while as the next oracle stream would start within a minute.

 

# stop tape from immediately unmounting for oracle backup/restores:

MEDIA_UNMOUNT_DELAY = 60

 

thanks,

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Keeping tape mounted between backups

 

All,

Is there a way to have netbackup keep the tape in drive of a robotic library?  I'm doing hourly backups of the Oracle Archive Log, and the tape gets unmounted and put back into it's slot after the backup is completed.  Is there a way to tell netbackup to keep the tape in the drive until the tape is full?  We did that with Legato, and now the we have moved to netbackup we are concerned about the wear and tear on the tape drive.  Since it's constantly mounting and unmounting the same tape.
