MOdify SLP

I have a Disk to Tape SLP (below are the attributes.   I am trying to change the pool for the pre-existing version (0) to match that of the current (1).   Keep getting an error.   Have used several commands

nbstl Name: SLP_FS_PSD_INCR_D2T -modify_version -version 0 -residence USGADTC1BUP901_DEDUP_SU,usgadtc1bup901-hcart3-robot-tld-1 -pool _NA_,DTC_ATL_PSD_FS_INCR

nbstl SLP_FS_PSD_INCR_D2T -modify_version -version 0 -pool _NA_,DTC_ATL_PSD_FS_INCR

 

This is the error that I am seeing.   Any ideas how I can change the volume pool of the Duplication step ?

Errors found in storage lifecycle policy definition:

   error 1503: volume pool does not exist or can't be used where specified
   Operation Index: 1
   Residence: USGADTC1BUP901_DEDUP_SU

  • I don't see any change in your storage unit, so "-residence" is not really required here.

    My command actually works:

    # nbstl disk2tape -modify_version -version 2 -pool __NA__,Full

    So I guess it's your syntax problem, you have "_NA_" but it should be "__NA__", double underscore!

  • error 1503: volume pool does not exist or can't be used where specified

    seems to indicate that you need to specify the storage unit(s) as well as the pool(s)

  • command line SLP modifications can be a lot of trouble, since you have to provide the values for each step. You CANNOT just modify the pool. AND, If there is ANY mismatch, it fails.

    Your thought to print out the current version is good, so you can copy and paste values to prevent typo

    It looks like you have version 0 and version 1 already - you want to modify version 0, correct?

      Yes; I am modifying version 0.  THis is very starnge in that I modified Vesion zero to use a different Storage Unit on the duplication.   Somehow the Tape unit took.   I must not have changed the volume pool at the same time, and now the desity for the volume pool does not match that of the Storage Unit.  When I run the command with the storage units and the volume pools, I get the same response

       # nbstl SLP_FS_PSD_INCR_D2T -modify_version -version 0 -residence USGADTC1BUP901_DEDUP_SU,usgadtc1bup901-hcart3-robot-tld-1 -pool _NA_,DTC_ATL_PSD_FS_INCR
