Re: [Veritas-bu] Two Expired Tapes
Why not re-import the tape back into Netbackup and then remove the images from the catalog when it's complete. I know this is probably the long route to take but it should work depending on your drive type (Mine LTO2: 4-5 hours).

Re: [Veritas-bu] Status code 42 - SQL2005 backup using NetBackup 5.1MP6
I would suggest checking your client timeouts. If you're backing up large amounts of data or there is a network issue, I have noticed it will fail with this error. Hope this helps.

I am trying to perform 'hot' SQL backups on several new SQL installations in my environment but some of the DB's back up ok whilst others fail with status code 42 (network read failed). For example on one server the backup of the master and model DBs both fail with status code 42 whilst the msdb and a custom DBs work. However this is not always the case as with other backups the model and msdb DB's have failed and master and custom have worked. The client machines are running NetBackup 5.1MP6, SQL2005 and Windows 2003; whilst the NetBackup servers are running on Solaris 9 with 5.1MP6. I am able to backup other SQL2005 installations set up as above but the SQL install on the new servers has been set up by an external resource and I am not sure whether the issue could be something to do with the SQL config. Any suggestions? Steve. __ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Restoration of huge data volumes fails
Not seen that before but if it's really large data I would increase the timeouts on the client. Really set them high. It could be the the client has timed out reading.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Start/stop scripts
Simon, The bpstart and bpend scripts should be able to do what you want them to do. You should be able to shutdown and restart services using these scripts. You can also change the name to add the policy name so only then it's called upon doing a certain policy. Like bpstart_notify.Policy.bat which will only be called when the policy is run. You can even go deeper and do it based upon schedule too. Glen Collins Storage Engineering Services Robert Half International, Inc.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Upgrading a 6.0 master server
This might be of some use for you. It is recommended to have all NetBackup (NB) master, media, client, and database extensions on the same release and at the same patch level. In larger environments it is not possible to update all servers and clients simultaneously. With versions of NetBackup preceding 4.5, it was required that all master and media servers be at the same patch level. Beginning with NetBackup DataCenter 4.5, there has been some support for running mixed patch level versions of 4.5. These same rules have been carried forward to NetBackup 5.1. This type of support enables NetBackup servers to run a mixture of NetBackup major releases and patches in the same environment. This philosophy gives rise to a number of general multi-version co-existence rules, together with some version-specific rules.

If there is a client and server bug fix your trying to accomplish your potentially going to make things worse by applying the fix to only one end. In the end its always a tough call.
