I have a 9730 that can only use 20 slots. I found an archived thread that seemed to cover this: thread507-1037199 but I am unclear what a 30 slot upgrade involves. My library has all 30 slots present, but the third column of slots has no target on it. Is this all that is needed for the upgrade...
Amazing how often this question comes up.
Volumes do not become recyclable after a certain period.
Volumes become recyclable when all save sets contained on the volume become recyclable.
A save set becomes recyclable when it is no longer required in order to satisfy the retention policy, i.e...
Is M: a network drive? If so you won't be able to see it. A mapped drive only exists for a logged in user, and since NetWorker is running as a service on the client it won't be logged in. Try running the commands from a local drive.
Unrelated to your problem, why are you using the hbn device? I notice the tape filled at 103GB, this is basically only native capacity. If you change to the cbn device you will probably get more like 200-250GB per tape, and correspondingly better write speed.
I'm saying that these binaries don't return any useful exit codes because they're not particularly well written. Sometimes they return a zero exit code even when it is patently obvious from the message that it didn't do what you expected.
You can't do exactly what you are trying to do, since it is not the volume that expires. The volume becomes recyclable when all save sets contained therein have expired. Even then it is a little more complex since save sets do not necessarily expire on the date marked, this is because a full...
Don't count on getting any sensible return codes from either of these programs, they're not that well written. You would be better advised to parse the messages that are produced on stdout and stderr.
You will find that the query you have used needs an exact match for the savetime. You will fare better if you use a range, such as
mminfo -q "savetime>05/21/04,savetime<05/22/04
You will find that the query you have used needs an exact match for the savetime. You will fare better if you use a range, such as
mminfo -q "savetime>05/21/04,savetime<06/21/04
Why do you need to manually set them to recyclable? If you have your system set up correctly the tapes will automatically recycle at the appropriate time.
Here's a script I use for this. It displays all volumes that the server knows about, so if you want to specify just a single jukebox you'll have to either grep the output or modify the script to add a "-q location=whatever" param in the mminfo command.
#!/bin/ksh
typeset -L8 PRINTDATE
mminfo...
Looks like you're getting bogged down in syntax. Notice that my group line is the last one, hence no semi-colon. If I had added further lines every one except the last would end in a semi-colon. Was this your problem?
I don't think anyone is saying you need two clients. It's not true anyway, one client resource can be associated to two groups. This snippet of code will do it:
echo "
create type: NSR client;
name: $CLIENTNAME;
group: ThisGroup, ThatGroup
" | nsradmin -i -

"Assuming you are backing up MSEXCH:MB"
I think that's an unlikely assumption. The mailbox backup option is slow and unwieldy due to the poor API provided by Micro$oft. Internally it involves exporting each mailbox to a PST file and backing that up - no wonder it's inefficient...
