Manual Duplication is failing with 191 error code

NetBAckup Version: 8.1.1

OS Version: SLES 12 SP 1

 

My duplication job which is done by SLP fails with the following error after witing a couple of bytes.

    I have had this issue in the past and was not able to replicate it - I cannot predict when the 191 will occur. It only happens once a month or so, and went away with no change on my part.

    If it is the same thing, all you can do is delete and re-run the backup.

    Try cancelling the SLP and manually duplicating it - if you still get the error, it is the same issue. 

    If you can replicate it - please have veritas check it out! I would also like a solution.

      With my issue - once it happens, the original source file will always generate a 191 when you try to copy or duplicate it.

      My issue is happening in the DR site. so the first operation is import then the nest in duplication. the importing is working without issues.

        You need to check/verify the disk image - this image (mp2vmsd058_1524904249 ) is giving a read error

        cannot read image from NDMP media id @aaaab, drive index -1, error code 20 (NDMP_UNDEFINED_ERR)
        Apr 9, 2019 12:35:07 PM - Error bptm (pid=13610) NBEMM returned an extended error status: Invalid argument (4000002)

        It seems that media server sivls106 is doing the read from disk and sivls105 the 'write' portion. 
        host sivls106 backup id mp2vmsd058_1524904249 read failed, media read error (85).
        host sivls105 backupid mp2vmsd058_1524904249 write failed

        Do you have bptm logging enabled on all media servers? Level 3 should be good as a start.

        I found some old TNs with similar errors related to NDMP direct copy.
        e.g. https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100033460
        Is this what you are using here?
