Not out of the box. I suppose you could use find to find all files older than two months and write their names to the exclude list for that policy. -M -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Asiye Yigit Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 4:26 AM To:

We also use Aptare. Have been for two years. Excellent for historical reports and daily status. The only time we use NBConsole is to drill down for certain types of errors, such as to identify a media problem. = Carl Stehman IT Infrastructure Team Pepco Holdings, Inc.

See http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/275107.htm A new Solaris 10 feature, Containers or Zones allows the configuration of global and non-global zones. NetBackup Server is supported only in a global zone. I'd be interested if you can pull it off anyway though. =) - John Nardello

[Veritas-bu] Examples of SSO vm.conf files

2006-01-27 Thread Kathryn Hemness
Greetings - I'm trying to setup SSO for an LTO2 library shared between a Solaris 9 Master and a RHEL3 Linux Media server. Can someone give me examples of the vm.conf files on each server? Right now, I'm using an evaluation license and I can see drives on both Master and Media servers and the

It's not vm.conf, it's tpconfig. Be sure which drives are the shared ones, ie /dev/rmt/x on server1 is /dev/rmtY on server2. Then carefully setup the drives as shared drives via tpconfig. vm.conf is plain. Really, the manual is your friend on an SSO setup. -M -Original Message-

Did you create new storage units for your media server? Reboot? Assign your policy to the new storage unit? Make sure that your both servers have the other in their bp.conf file. Best guarantee is to have each labeled as a SERVER rather than a MEDIASERVER. Master server is listed first, of
