RE: [Veritas-bu] Which backups ran on tape L00123?
Title: Message Suspending a tape keeps it from being written to until the last image on that tape expires. Then the tape returns to read/write. Freezing a tape keeps it from being written to forever. Both are options to the bpmedia command. To find images on tapes, use "bpimmedia -mediaid medianum" with appropriate options to make it pretty, etc. -M -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Paul KeatingSent: Friday, December 09, 2005 8:22 AMTo: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.eduSubject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Which backups ran on tape L00123?

I think you want this dont you ?
bpimmedia -mediaid BQ630D |awk ' $1 ~ /IMAGE/ {print $0}'
This should list the client images which are on that tape. These may not
be complete images if the tape is multiplexed or backups have span
media. Taking of the awk statement will show you all frags.

What do you guys think about this?
I can eject the tape, lock it manually (on the cartridge), so it cannot
be written to, then, when it expires according to its retention period I
will remove the bad tape.
CommentS?

I will put it back in re-inventory but the tape itself would be

That works, when you eject it NBU will not be aware of its location and
will not use it. The only problem is that if you ever put it back in for
a restore you will have to tell nbu where it is to complete the restore
and there would be nothing stopping NBU from using it again if left in.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Which backups ran on tape L00123?
If the tape isn't ful, you'll get jobs trying to write to it, failing
because the cart is write protected, then restarting.
If that's ok with you, then go for itI'd suspend it.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Which backups ran on tape L00123?

I had to do this when importing LTO1 Tapes into a new NBU Database
(Painful story!!) but yes, this ensures its not over-written! However,
the BAD side is this..
IF the tape expires, it goes into scratch... A job will grab the tape
and try to write!
NO NO NO! You cannot write to me as I am write protected!
Netbackup reports error!
The suspend / freeze method is good if you want to manually do it, with
the need to EJECT the physical media!
Hope this helps!
