This took way too long (over 24 hours) in our environment. It was never
an option for us, unfortunately.

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 catalog backups
will complete. Using this command to do the consistency check and fix
it does not delete the corrupt entries so if a fix for the corrupt
entries ever happen you still have them. On our catalog it takes
approxamately 2 hours to run. Our catalog is 60+ gigs.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Has anyone run a database consistency check
recently?
Hi all,
We have been having issues with our catalog (running NBU 6.0 MP4) and
have found that our catalog is very inconsistent. We have been running a
utility from Symantec called consistency_gather.pl, which basically
grabs image, media and vol DB information. We send that through to
Symantec to produce a report, which we receive back.
We have two NetBackup 6.0 environment, and both are reporting that we
have inconsistencies in our catalog.
Has anyone else run this utility and obtained a report from Symantec.
In one of our report, it stats that of the 375000 images that we have,
about 4700 of them could be lost due to being overwritten. We also have
multiple tapes that appear to be assigned to multiple media servers, and
the list goes on.
Anyone else run into this type of issue?
Regards
Ian.
