What am I doing wrong?
I can only get a max maximum of 2GB for Max Frag Size on my dstores and dssu's
NB 5.1 MP4 solaris_9
$ sudo bpstulist -L -label dssu04
Label: dssu04
Media Type: Disk Staging (6) Host Connection: mediasvr1 Concurrent Jobs: 12 On Demand Only: yes Path: "/dssu04" Robot Type: (not robotic) Max Fragment Size: 2000 Max MPX: 1 >>> Kathryn Hemness <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 6/22/2006 10:53 AM >>> Thanks, Bob.
The technote described my problem exactly...... I'm planning on migrating to a new server this summer, so I'll make sure I install NB5.1MP5. Upgrading to NB6.0 is too ambitious for the summer since major releases change outputs of many administrative commands I use. In the meantime, has anybody tried fooling NetBackup by creating a non-zero-sized fragment full of 0's?
