[Veritas-bu] bpduplicate question
I'm trying to figure out the bpduplicate command (NBU 6.0 on Solaris). How can I determine the acceptable values for -dstunit? ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

I'm trying to figure out the bpduplicate command (NBU 6.0 on Solaris). How can I determine the acceptable values for -dstunit? It's where you want to have the data written. Any dstunit you have defined should be valid. This would allow you to pick a particular media server or volume type (becuase the DST would define them). -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOShttp://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?

Re: [Veritas-bu] bpduplicate question
The action i got from original post was that he duplicated to the wrong pool and wanted to correct it by removing the duplication and then duplicating to the correct pool. I took from this that he just wanted 1 duplication and so the copy number would be 2. Increasing the number of copies to 3 just means bpduplicate will create a new copy and it doesnt mean the 2nd copy he did do will be gotten rid of. Plus if he has a restore procedure to use the duplicated copies and needs to either change to primary or restore from copy 2 his documentation will be out for this copy which is copy number 3. It depends indeed how the restore process adopted works. I may have gotten the wrong end of the stick from the original email. Cheers Mickey Baker wrote: That’s the correct solution, IMO.

RE: [Veritas-bu] bpduplicate question
Actually I stumbled across the gui expire function and used that. All the info on the gui was correct, pointing to the correct tape and copy etc.. After a little more poking around, I see that even after it said that it was expired after refreshing the gui the it did change the expire date and everything else is still there. I then tried to change the volume pool back to scratch using the gui again with the Media Managers change function and it gave the following: Could not change media ID 001323: cannot change volume pool for assigned volume (91) Any suggestions how to get this tape back to the scratch volume pool?

The reason i think this has happened is as the message suggests it already has 2 copies as you did a successfully duplication. Did you use the -copy flag on the bpexpdate command to expire your copy?# Dave BeDour, Wayne wrote: Just to answer my own question.
