Hi folks, VNBU 4.5 error code 233: Master Server (Media Server) : Solaris 8 VNBU version: 4.5GA Tape library: Sun L100 Tape drives: 5 x Seagate LTO1 - The size of data written on the backup that failed with error 233 varies among different clients. Some of them backup 10 GB then failed, some of them only backup few MB then failed. - The error 233 is not specific to particular clients nor particular media ID nor particular tape drive

Backup policies started, mount tape, positioning and start writing then the failed with error code 233 again, the written size to tape is always varies, sometime 2MB, sometime 2GB etc... Would like to highlight the backup images /usr/openv/netbackup/db is pointing to NFS mount of /appnas/netbackup/db, currently used up 74GB of 94GB of space Search thru' all Veritas support sites, web to no avail, escalated to Veritas Support still pending for response from almost month Could anyone shed some ideas/thinking etc....I am more than willing to try it out to fix the problem Thanks _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
