As far as I am concerned 6.5 is better. I have had far less issues with
it that I did with any 6.0 MP#. If you have any reporting software it
will break it. The licensing has changed in 6.5 it now includes BMR and
a few other changes in whats included or not included.
If you are going to
NBU 6.0 and 6.5 the master server license and media server license are
the same licennse. If you have master servers at your remote locations
you can change them to media servers and point them to your EMM server.

On wilndows I use a dos utility set called pstools. It allows killing
99% of tasks that are unkillable. It also has a few other utils that I
use once in a while but the main one I use is the pskill util. It can
kill on local machine and remote machhines as long as they are windows
machines.
Ok now that a few people have upgraded to NBU 6.5 how many of you had
reporting/monitoring software besides NOM that broke. In other words
cant connect to the database to collect data need for reporting?
Our corporate office uses Bocata to do monitoring/reporting and since I
upgraded to NBU 6.5
Try increasing your network timeouts. Since I added 400 day retention
to my catalogs and log files (Blame The Auditors) I have had to increase
my timeouts at least twice in the last year.
I know it sounds funny to need to increase them on the master server
when the master server is backing up

In windows you can run this command.
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\netbackup\bin\bpdbm -consistency
f:\catalog.consistency.txt
On a *nix machine it should still be the same command
While it checks the catalog it will move corrupt entries to
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\netbackup\db.corrupt and your
I have been having the same problem since I moved to NBU 6.0 GA I am now
at NBU 5.0 MP5. I havent opened a ticket with support yet as I have
media available. When the count reaches 100 I am going to open the
ticket. So far I am up to 96 media in that state. They don't exist in
the EMM Database
I just found the solution to my 96 media that would not expire.
I have followed this technote to expire 2 of them so far.

Instead of expiring copy 1 (1) you can use bpchangeprimary to change
copy 2 (00037) to be the primary copy.

Look at the file size of all your fulls in the listing, It looks like
the only ones that actually have data are the vms fulls
If you try to manually
tar -xvzf
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/mpn6/118600/MPN6_1186808402_FULL.f.Z
Does it also fail? You should get some sort of error doing it
I believe the way you need to do that if you are not doing BMR is to
install your indiws into a different folder than the origional folder.
Instead of winnt or windows try installing the fresh install of windows
into a folder called restore. What happens is if you are using the
origional paths
Dave,
I ended up doing the following steps
1 - Down the library and powering it off
2 - Removed all drives and robots from master server and all media
servers.
3 - Stopped ALL NBU services on master and all media servers.
4 - On master server and all media servers I Deleted all files under the
1 - 100 of 146 matches
