Re: [Veritas-bu] MPT driver and SG
Martin, I checked the files I downloaded, and the 6.5.2 was indeed the A version. NB_6.5.2A.solaris_x86_305652.tar The other necessary patch files (client, java, ndmp) were applied, and were the correct version. The files I used on the sparc version I'll have to check later.

Re: [Veritas-bu] MPT driver and SG
If you're at 6.5.2, there's really no point in applying 6.5.2A. The only incremental difference between the two is documented in TN 304269: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/304269.htm So, if you haven't been affected by the STREAMS (AKA Incrementals as Fulls) problem documented there and are ALREADY at 6.5.2, there's not much point in applying 6.5.2A.

Re: [Veritas-bu] How to change a Media ID
I think you just need to change the barcode...not the mediaid. You can do something like vmchange -barcode 01951 -m 001951 to associate the new barcode with the old mediaid. Media ids don't actually have anything to do with the barcode. It just so happens that netbackup bases the media I'd off of the barcode for our sake. Hope this helps.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6.5.1 Catalog move
I've tested this only for the catalog itself (i.e. veritas\netbackup\db\images) and it works fine. The only downside of this is that your volume database dosen't make the transtition - when you load the media into the new host they will all look like scratch / the media are no assigned as they should be (although you can restore data). I have not tried the rest of the Netbackup configuration but as long as the break was clean (Stop Services First) this might work. Also, I'd install NBU on the 2nd side first to ensure registry changes and any files loaded on the C: make it. -Jonathan From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas D Pryde Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 10:33 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6.5.1 Catalog move Is it possible (has anyone done this) to take a 6.51 catalog and copy it to another drive (SAN drive) and then re-assign to a new server (hardware upgrade)?

Thanks for all of the great information everyone! A couple of things I would like to add: 1. I didn't add a directory because I was under the impression (and if you try for the day of and up to a couple of days back) that simply searching via policy (-k policy) I would get everything backed up via policy. 2. I went with the default on -R because I think that will cover everything I need quite well but based on the suggestions I will do some further investigation. 3. I see the command bpflist was mentioned and I hadn't considered it because of the parsing work I would have to do but now that I am thinking about it, it might be a better option to my data Other than that, I think this will get me all set.

Here is my command: bplist -C clientname -S svrname -k policy_name -R -l -s 07/1/2008 00:00:00 -e 07/1/2008 23:59:59 /$HOME/policy_name_070108 but I get this error Status 227: Entity not found So the one thing I would worry about that you have not specified is the file(s) to search for. Default is your current directory. Does the current directory you're running the command in exist on the client? If not, maybe you want to explicitly give '/' as a filename? Ok, well how about this, just to make sure we are not insane? bplist -C clientname -S svrname -R -l -s 07/1/2008 00:00:00 -e 07/1/2008 23:59:59 /path_to_dir_backed_up_by_policy /$HOME/policy_name_070108 And here you specify the path explicitly. So my question is, what am I doing wrong or what could I do to get the information I want which is a breakdown of how much is backed with a file listing and the amounts next to the file? Is this the wrong command or is there a better way to go about this? In some cases (depending on exactly what I'm doing) I prefer to parse 'bpflist' output instead of 'bplist'. It can be harder to get output, but it allows me to pass in an explicit backupid. -- Darren ___ 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 -- Matthew MCP, MCSA, MCTS, OCA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Define Trouble: Why did you apply THAT patch?? ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
