May be the VSS writers are not registered properly. Try running this command
vssadmin list writers and make sure all the writers are stable. And are
you using microsoft vss writers or some other vendor.

I have to throw the BS flag here. That's just FUD.
Until Microsoft finally came up with VSS in w2k3, the OS vendor
provided *zero* tools for open file backups. Veritas had been filling
that

Nice reply :)
In 3.4, I turned VSP off, and found I got better reliable backups than
with it on!
Even 5.1, 6 and 6.5 it was dire.
Thankfully we dont need to worry about in the current versions :-)

To me the most courteous email courtesy would be NOT to bitch about

There is no consistent view of what is courteous - some hate top

All:
Our environment, HP-UX 11-31 currently running one master / media server
on NetBackup 6.5.2. We are running mostly unix / Linux backups and a
couple windows b/u's thrown in for good measure.
Currently, our image cleanup job hangs at the same place and will not
complete without canceling it.
Trouble is, no matter what answer I would have said or done it would
be deemed wrong anyhow :-(
Even though the environment has had great backups, and worked flawlessly
with IDR when needbe!

I agree. There are many opinions. My preference is to have all the threads

Hey Bob, it's not FUD. VSP has been problematic since, I don't know, 4.5?
It would fail to release the lock on the file and therefore you would end
up with GB files filling up the filesystems which sometimes required a
reboot to be able to delete. It didn't happen consistently, but it was

client's images to a temp location and restarted the netbackup services.

Sounds to me like image cleanup doesn't like something with a particular
client's image. As you know, when /usr/openv fills up, nasty things can
happen, including corrupt/incomplete catalog entries. I couldn't find a
specific technote that addresses this in my quick search, but this one may

Hi Guys
I have migrated over to new hardware, and went to install a new SAN
Media Server, and although the install is fine, no errors and services
are started, I have a problem...
When running Device Config Wizard, my Server name is not appearing!
Originally my new SAN Media Server (Home1) was
Ive had to log a call with Symantec, but its a real, real problem :-((
The original PHYSICAL SERVER was NODE03. The Virtual Name was HOME1
nbemmcmd -listhosts shows NODE03 but it does not show the new Media
Server HOME1
Cant add it, as it believes it exists.
Because Media is obviously assigned
Try nbemmcmd -listhosts -verbose
I would expect that you would see an entry for NODE03 with an alias or
something for HOME1. You can add/change existing entries, so I believe all
you'll need to do is remove HOME1 from NODE03 and then you can add it as a
comletely new san media server. You may
