We upgraded to 6.0 mp6 on solaris for media and master server yesterday. We had the same with vault duplication. I seen your message of the Peer to Peer Newsgroups forum. I post this there and emailing what we found out last night. I found on another site a workaround. According to the veritas forum it is a Solution from Symantec support: Run "nbrbutil -dump" and analyze the output, looking for the "MDS allocations in EMM" section. Find the allocation key for the tape that is "in use". Then run "nbrbutil -releaseMDS <allocation key #>". The tape will now be released, and can be expired, moved, deleted, or whatever you need to do with it.
Here's the output of nbrbutil with no arguments (-help and -Q aren't valid): ************ Arguments: -dump -- dump all nbrb allocation and request list -dumptables -- have nbrb log its internal state -release <GUID> -- Release the allocation with the given identifier -cancel <GUID> -- Cancel the allocation request with the given identifier -resetAll -- Reset all nbrb allocations, requests, and persisted state -resetMediaServer mediaserver -- Reset all nbrb EMM/MDS allocations related to LTID on the mediaserver -listOrphanedMedia -- List media reserved in EMM but with no corresponding allocation in RB -listOrphanedDrives -- List drives reserved in EMM but with no corresponding allocation in RB -listOrphanedStus -- List storage units reserved in EMM but with no corresponding allocation in RB -releaseOrphanedMedia <name> -- Release media reserved in EMM but with no corresponding allocation in RB -releaseOrphanedDrive <name> -- Release drives reserved in EMM but with no corresponding allocation in RB -releaseOrphanedStu <name> -- Release storage units reserved in EMM but with no corresponding allocation in RB -releaseMDS <ID> -- Release EMM/MDS allocations by MDS allocation ID -releaseAllocHolds -- Release allocation holds due to alloction errors for drives/media -suspend -- Suspend nbrb processing -resume -- Resume nbrb processing ************* **URL got this from is: http://forums.veritas.com/discussions/thread.jspa?threadID=61500&start=15&tstart=0 _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
