Thanks guys you have all confirmed what i have told the so called
solution designer to be true and that multipathing tape devices isnt an
option.
Cheers

Hi again!
Well that last image shows NO storage unit present!
you could run the Device Configuration Wizard again, and it should find the
robot+drives, and create the applicable named storage unit.
Or you can manually create one.
I am assuming of course that this image is correct, and that
Thank you Ed.
I do appreciate the response. The Technote does indeed talk about the
upgrade process being Master / Media / Clients in this order. I guess I was
trying to find a possible in-trim work around to upgrade the Master and
upgrade this single client to MP5 (which is LAN Based client) to

To be fair, if this is the 1st time its been used by Nizar, the NetBackup
Volume pool is there by default, and I do recall when I put in my 3.4 and
4.5 versions of NBU, the tapes all went to the scratch pool when loaded in
from the robots.
Its easily done, and its one feature I see quite
Hi
Your tape drives are configured as hcart3:

Thats odd then, why when configuring catalogue backups to tapes it will
only allow you to input media which is assigned to the Netbackup pool?

You could try doing multiple reverse lookups against the IP of both yourbackup
server, and your client, and see if the proper name comes back,and matches what
is entered in the client bp.conf.
There may be some stale PTR records in DNS.

Ok I have a DR question for everyone. I have 3 sites. All 3 of them have
master servers. All sites do tape vaulting and send their tapes to the
main site for DR storage of a week and then are sent back. However, the
db backup tapes for netbackup do not get vaulted out. I tried this once
and
I do something similar. I backup my catalogue to Disk. I then rsync both
the catalogue and images to the DR site.

Has anyone else noticed yet that you can no longer move media ownership

Sorta true, Darren.
However, since in an NBU env, the master initiates the backup, and theclient
replies to the interface from which the backup was initiated, youget very good
load balancing.
Ie, the master server starts the backup via interface-A, the client seesthe
backup request from
What he said.
Conincidentally, you had two drives give you problems.
Sounds like the device files are swapped.
FWIW, I've rarely (maybe 1 in 20) had the netbackup device
configurationconfigure 100% of the devices correctly.

I am having problems with the make_scsi_dev command as well. I have read

Fantastic. I'm letting
I should add that for those of us who started using NetBackup for the
first time from version 6 the catalogue volume pool is likely to be
CatalogBackup (when using hot catalogue backups). We actually use the
NetBackup volume pool for data backups (fed from scratch) as that seemed
logical during

Sorry I am with Dave on this. Yes the NetBackup Pool is there by default,
and yes if it remains unconfigured, new media goes into this pool, but
ideally the NetBackup pool is for the placement of catalog backups. Its
much, much easier to keep a track of the tapes by seperating them into

Regarding the retension setting under any schedule. After 1 year, it moves
from Infinity Level 9 to Level 24.
Just what level should be used it you want to retain something for say 10
years.
