NBU 7.1 - SLP copy & paste

Hi,

Is there a way to copy & paste a SLP?

I have to setup dozens of SLP's which are all the same D2D > AIR > D2T apart from the final tape media pool, depending on company / legal entity.

I'm hoping I can use 1 as a template & copy the rest, maybe there is a particular file or directory that I copy & edit?

 

NBU 7.1.0.2 on Win2008R2

 

thx in advance

    You can copy a SLP using the GUI. You can't however copy multiple SLP in one go. 

    GUI -> Storage -> SLP - Select SLP - Right Click -> Copy.

    This will bring up a dialog for the new SLP. I could also image a script could do the job.

    I can't recommend copy files manual in the Netbackup installation - it's highly unsupported.

    Really, hmm, thats a bit obvious & I tried it but its greyed out.

    Maybe the full fat client doesnt have the option. Perhaps you did this with the java gui?

    I will try with the java gui...

     

    thx

    I just installed the java version & SLP copy works as you say!

    Full fat is bad for you ;-)

     

    thx

    However, the volume pool drop down only lists the original pool!

    I have to switch back the full fat client to change the pool.

    Its a workaround I can live with I guess.

    Somtimes the list is populated on a try number 2.

    I also found this T/N: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH172159 - titled: BUG REPORT: The 7.1.0.2 Java Console no longer populates the correct information in several areas of the GUI.

    Try number 2, 3, 4 etc did not work. I guess we will need to wait for patch 7.1.0.3.
