Hi, Where is the DR catalog you are trying to recover from? Local disk? Tape? Normally in a DR environment you should have it all setup (e.g., a fresh install) and ensure everything is working and ready to go (then it should not impact the DR process), once that's done then re-attempt the

Hi, Yes, you should do it in a test environment first, what I normally do is add the new keys first-and then remove the old ones using get_license_key. Justin. From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Scott Jacobson Sent:

I opened a case with RedHat for the first issue. There recommendation was to change the way NetBackup sends so it doesn’t use mailx as the issue occurs for mailx but not for Sendmail itself. I haven’t had a chance to investigate where in NBU I’d change that. Instead I login directly as

To set NetBackup cleaning as opposed to robot cleaning itself I gather we need to setup barcode rules as discussed in the following thread: http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/cleaning-tape-cln I’ve done that but am curious if they are correct about having to set HC2_CLN for HCART2 and
