Hi,
I'm a bit of a
newbie to Netbackup (but learning shed-loads rather rapidly) and have a question
about VSP for open file backups. I've had some people who use this and others
who don't although I've not had any reasons for either case.
I'm wondering if

Hi,
i dont know exactly on which system you are installing, but if it's
redhat you should take a look at your /etc/securetty
you must add a line with rsh on it to work
it should be something like:

You will have to run the command against the particular media server that
'owns' the tape.

The bottom line is NetBackup REQUIRES 100% accurate, reliable, and
unambiguous name resolution.
Some considerations:
- shorter names are generally easier to read and say.
- FDQNs are more likely to be unambiguous, especially in large, mixed
environments.
- DNS makes sharing hostname information

If the tape is expired AND frozen, then you may want to try
un-expiring the tape first and then un-freezing it.
The /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpmedialist -summary
command displays status of media-by-expiration proximity.
Look in the Expired section for all of your media servers.

Simon,
Think
of a SAN Media server as a client with tape drives. If you are restoring files
from another client TO that SAN Media server and not back to the originating
client, you can use it to do the
