    Team

    when i raised call with symantec they have given the following solution

    can i proceed with the below ?

     

    1. Perform catalog backup

     

    2. Shut down Netbackup.

    Make sure all processes have stopped by running command:

    D:\veritas\netbackup\bin\bpps

     

    3. Copy all files/folders from D:\ drive to E:\ drive

     

    4. Copy all files/folders from E:\ drive to D:\ drive

     

    5. Rename D:\veritas folder to D:\veritas_original

     

    6. Change drive letters. i.e D:\ to E:\ and E:\ to D:\

     

    7. Reboot master

     

    8. Stop Netbackup scheduler from starting any netbackup jobs:

    D:\veritas\netbackup\bin\admincmd\nbpemreq -suspend_scheduling

     

    9. Verify main services are running:

    D:\veritas\netbackup\bin\bpps

    nbemm,

    bpdbm,

     

    10. Verify EMM database is responding:

    D:\veritas\netbackup\bin\nbdb_ping

     

    11. Open Netbackup console and check following:

    policies

    storage units

    media .. check time assigned column - any media with valid backups should have date in this column

    tape drives

    disk pools

    - open BAR gui and check you can view files for restore.

     

    If any data is lost, you need to shut down Netbackup and call Symantec Support.

     

    12. If everything is ok, you can resume Netbackup scheduler and test backups:

    D:\veritas\netbackup\bin\admincmd\nbpemreq -resume_scheduling
