NBCC Utility

With NBCC you need to log a call with Symantec, and send in the NBCC output you have created.

Support will run NBCCA tool against this outupt which provides a detailed analysis of the issues.

 "Inconsistency Error Oper_8_2" alone will not tell youenough details to make any fixes.

You won't fiond information on these codes (or probably not) as the TNs containg the details are 'usually' internal only.

Oper_8_2 - Occurs during the checking of the Image DB.  This inconsistency code indicates that the media ID is in a  Volume DB and is not imported, is in at least one Media DB and has an image fragment allocation time that is earlier than the Volume DB assign time.  This could indicate a possible overwrite of the images.

On any tape, the earliest date is the assign time, nothing can happen until a tape is assigned.  therefore, if you have a tape that is assigned at 15.00 28th Jusy, it should not contain an image fragment that has an earlier assign time, unless something has gone wrong.

I cannot even think, how you could get this state ... hmm, one way would be if the media DB entry was recreated manually with the 'wrong' assign time - in which case there is 'probabl;y' no harm done, it just looks wrong and flags up in NBCC.  This could happen I guess if  a previuos repair was made .

Another way ... perhaps the tape was written by another media server ... this sholdn't happen, as even if you have media sharing the assign time should be correct.  IF this had happened, I'd expect to see NBCC throwing out other errors also.

Only way you can progress this is to log a call.  Suppot can go through the details NBCC gathers, to 1. confirm that NBCC is correct, 2 work out what has happened (not always possible), 3. Fix it ...
