Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.0 MP4 Bug
Hello Richard- When your vault job failed, what was the status code? I know that there was a problem in 6.0 where the scheduler was incorrectly restarting a partially successful vault job, e.g. a vault job that exited with a status 306 because not all of the images were successfully duplicated. I'm pretty sure 6.0 MP4 includes this fix. ( but it sounds like you might prefer the bug! :-/ ) HTH rob On Mon, Jan 22, 2007 at 03:48:08PM +1300 or thereabouts, Mansell, Richard wrote: We have only installed MP4 on our master server so far but have noticed today that the vault job no longer retries if it fails the first time.

Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.0 MP4 Bug
Hi Rob Thanks for that, the vault job did indeed return status 306. If the normal behaviour now is not to retry then I do prefer the bug! Depending on how you interpret them, the MP4 release notes kind of imply that they should retry now when they weren't before:- Etrack Incident = ET630777 Associated Primary Etracks = ET630772 Description: A change was made to the Policy Execution Manager to auto retry Vault jobs on Status codes EC_vc_EjectFailed (287), EC_vc_EjectPartialSuccess (288), and EC_vc_PartialSuccess (306). If one image failed to duplicate, Vault would return a status 306. Also changed the parent job (nbgenjob) to validate the image for a Vault job that returned an error status 306, 287, or 288. I am confused! -Original Message- From: Rob Worman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 23 January 2007 1:02 pm To: Mansell, Richard Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.0 MP4 Bug Hello Richard- When your vault job failed, what was the status code?

Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.0 MP4 Bug
This may well be what the issue is with our environment at the moment. A_L_D backups seems to fail, although explicitly listing each drive seems to work fine. I'll hopefully be implementing the fix v soon.
