I don't know if it'll help as I'm using NB 4.5 but the command I use to view frozen media is # /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpmedialist -U This gives you output on all status of your tape. It can be large so pipe the output to a file and then grep the file for FROZEN. good luck!

Since no one replied I hope you don't mind me offering the following. Check out the archive on the following site. A lot of people have asked how to narrow down access relating to the GUI. I just don't remember the answer! :) Hope it helps...

two command I find very usefull for this /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmoprcmd -display This tells you what tapes are loaded in which drives /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmdareq -display This tells you what drives are up, down, reserved, and owner. To up a drive on command line use: vmoprcmd -h media_server...

I don't really know, but here is a suggestion. Have you tried verifying all the tapes you need? If it runs over to another tape, perhaps that's causing the hang-up. The command I use to find the tapes I need is: $install_path/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpimagelist -media -d start_date -e...

from what I understand - Netbackup tars the files to tape. So theoretically it should be possible. I haven't tried it myself, but I read about it on another newsgroup. Check out http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/pipermail/veritas-bu/ to find out how. Good luck.

friendly word of warning for using robtest - only use it when no backups or restores are running as it completely owns the robot when in use - forget to log out and your backups will fail for the night!

hi Hennek, I don't have experience with NetBackup/Netware solution, but I wanted to offer some other solutions rather than a possible O/S conflict. Maybe verify your novell servers NIC settings if you haven't done so already. 100mb Full/Duplex fixed - autonegotiate can slow down...

As promised, an update on our migration to 4.5. A patch has now been released by Veritas that resolved the Calendar based schedule problem. It also fixed a problem with the Catalog backup that was giving an error code, even when successfull - I had a few palpitations over that one!! After...

bpimport should help you scan in expired data

I would suggest that this wouldn't be a good idea. I do not know netbackup very well, but I have worked with backups for a few years now. What you are proposing would have a new version working with an old version catalog. What I would suggest, is that you do a restore of your server to a...

Hi, I am a recent convert to Netbackup and a little clueless. My environment is 4.5 datacentre on Sun Solaris8 platform. I have a StorageTek 9710 timberwolf library with 6 x 9840 drives. How can I monitor what speed my tapes are writing at? My backup requirements include a number of...

I am only just using Veritas and have migrated from Letato 5.5.4 to netbackup 4.5. I had a problem yesterday, on looking up the manual (not realising I'd printed off 3.2 admin guide) the fix was to use xbpadm. This has been discontinued in 4.5. So everything is GUI driven. The calender...

Hi, I am using 4.5 netbackup datacenter on Solaris v8. I have a client also on solaris v8 with a database. My problem is that the client needs a cold backup of it's database, so I am using bpstart_notify.Policy_name and bpend_notify.Policy_name scripts to stop and re-start the database. I...
