Re: [Veritas-bu] newbie question on bpend
Hi Gary You would probably need to use a bpend script on the client (not the off-host media server). You can check the exit status of the backup and if greater than 0, execute the bpbackup command to start the backup of the network backup policy. The exit status of the backup is sent backup to client from the media server. (Well that's how our SQL snapshot backups work anyhow). PS. You will also need to add the client as a SERVER=... entry in the master's bp.conf so that you can be authorised to run the bpbackup command from the client.

Now and again the snapshot will fail (rc 156) and needs a manual cleanup on the clariion of the snapshots/sessions before it'll work again . Rather than give our operators full access to the disks, I've set up policies that backup the disks over the network instead - is it possible to set this up so that if the job fails with a 156 then the equivalent network backup runs/ I assume I have to use bpend_notify to kick off a bpstart command? Can this be from the master or does it have to be on the client? And if so is it on the client or the 'offhost client' ie the media server? First time I've looked at post batch scripting any help would be great. Cheers Gary This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.

Re: [Veritas-bu] AIT2 and AIT3 tape drive
Typically newer drives are backwardly compatible with drives of the same class. The link here for a Sony AIT3 drive shows it is Fully backward read/write compatible with AIT-2 and AIT-1 cartridges. http://www.dv411.com/sdx700c.html The answer would be on how you write the tapes. In UNIX there are typically device files for the different modes such as density rewind/no rewind etc So long as you force it to write in the mode that is understood in AIT2 the answer should be yes. I once investigated this question for DLT on Solaris and found there were ways to do it so suspect there probably for AIT as well. I don't know how to make Windows use different drive modes though.

[Veritas-bu] Command to show what slot a media is in?
Is there a NetBackup command that will show you what slot a particular media ID is in a library? Not necessarily what it might physically be, as in actually instructing the robot to inventory the library. Simply what slot the media ID is assigned to as per the media database. What I'm trying to accomplish is a script to automate a very manual process. We have a lot of remote sites with libraries that don't have barcode readers. As such we need to e-mail the on-site contact each day the media ID and slot number to pull media from, and then they e-mail us back the new media ID they put in to replace it and we manually add it in. I'm trying to script the first e-mail that lists all the remote sites, what media ID to remove, the slot it is in, and the retention of the media. The only thing I don't know of a command for is the slot for a particular media. Thanks!

Re: [Veritas-bu] newbie question on bpend
Curtis- Dennis' postscript is correct. i.e., it is *not* possible to run bpbackup -i from a remote host unless the master server thinks that host is a media server. Otherwise, bprd logs an error saying, hostname is not a valid server for manual backup request You're right that a normal bpbackup can be run from any host... And you're ALSO right that you can't run bpbackup -i as a non-root or non-admin user... 2 out of 3 ain't bad. ;-) HTH rob On Jan 25, 2007, at 10:30 AM, Curtis Preston wrote: PS. You will also need to add the client as a SERVER=... entry in the master's bp.conf so that you can be authorised to run the bpbackup command from the client. Not sure where you ever heard that this is a requirement. A client does NOT have to be a server to run bpbackup, nor does it have to be a server to run bpbackup -i. Any user on any client can run bpbackup, and root/administrator can run bpbackup -i. ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
