They may well be related to the "BUG" in FP6. I never went that route as far too many people experienced timeout issues. The only solution I know of - Upgrade to v5MP1 or downgrade to v4.5FP5
You can manually create the directory or directories that you need. The need to reside in netbackup/logs. There is a script already there that you can sinply execute but it will create all the log directories and I generally only use a few so I just create those few that I need. If the...
It all depends on the type of policies? Are they frequency based or calendar based? If frequency based - What are the specifics in terms of backup window, frequency and retention?
Not sure why you do not get any instances as the instances are defined by the devices configured in NetBackup. As long as you have a tape device on the server AND it is configured ont he master server, the instance should show up.
Manufacturers are not an issue. Where there might be problems is with LTO Gen2 tapes going to an LTO Gen1 drive - Will not work. Gen1 tapes being read ona Gen2 drive - Should work just fine but ... The final say is in the manufacturer in their compatibility.
Not necessarily - It may not be finding the tape correctly depending on where you are running hte command from. Change the command to:
bpimmedia -mediaid <TapeNumber> -L -M <Master server>
Have you checked the media in question to see exactly what images are on it? Maybe there is an oracle stream with an infinity retention?
Use the command
bpimmedia -mediaid <TapeNumber> -L
To see what images are on the specific tape.
For the specific policy, under the general tab you must ensure that you select "Allow Multiple Data Streams". UNder the "Backup Selections" tab you need to break the client down into NEW_STREAMS. That way, each stream will go to another tape device. If you want E-Drive, for example, to go to...

This is from the manual
The backup_notify.cmd script runs on the NetBackup server where the storage unit is located and is called each time a backup is successfully written to media. The parameters that NetBackup passes to this script are:
- The name of the...
Personally - I do not use the java client - I find that there are far too many problems, not withstanding the resource issues as the client tends to consume all available system resources and slow everything to a crawl.
Generally - Hardware is not the issue. It is the tape format. We have tapes from our remote sites stored centrally and all restores are handled from here even though the backups are done at the site. The tape drives are different in many of the cases but the format is the same i.e. LTO gen1...
