NBU 7.1.0.2 - Import Images after cleanup catalog

Hi all,

we have to do a cleanup of our catalog due to a hardware migration tasks. Therefore we cleanup the nbu catalog with the command:

 bpexpdate -backupid $i -copy 1 -d 0 -force

Now we run Phase I of the import and could see in the log that he will recreate the image informations:

Run Phase I:

Logfile output, see above.

But when i try to run Phase II i see not all images:

I see only 8 images instead of 15000 images?

Can someone explain me if i did something wrong?

    I get the feeling that some of the issues may have been caused by the original disk spanning.

    If you had the available disk space it would be good to put all of the images into a single directory and work on that.

    I would also now leave it for 1 week to allow the earlier unsuccessful imports to expire  -  if you have removed the touch file Marianne suggested (though bear in mind any that have so far successfully imported with have thir clock ticking as they will now have a life span of their original backup)

    At that point you would have a clean set of all images in a single location to work on

    You then need to run the Phase 1 and Phase 2 using the -cn 1 switch

    Any that fail are either corrupt or have their TIR information missing

    Those showing the TIR failure can have their file in the catalog tmp directories edited to reflect that they do not have TIR information and they should then import

    Keep us (me) updated

    Do you have 15000 files in the location or 15000 images?

    Each image could be made up of many different fragments.

    How many images with different names do you see?

    The whole file contain about 15000 entries. So from my view each line is a image. But i only see 8 entries instead of this 15000. And in the log of Phase I i could see all the files too. But i'm not able to import it. 

    THX for your help ...

    either blank out the media server in your search or change ti to bckp01 - it looks to me like a lot of them were by a different media server - if you leave that field blank it will get the info for all media servers.

    I know it will be large but can you post the phase 1 import log for me to look at

    Thanks for that - it does look like it is running the phase 1 against images OK.

    So lets have a look at just one image to start with:

    16:44:05 INF - Found existing image information for client ROZRHPAD03, policy windows_b01, and schedule Full, done on 10/28/2011 22:52:20.

    16:44:05 INF - Recreating copy 1, fragment TIR 1 information for image.

    16:44:05 INF - Recreating copy 1, fragment 1 information for image.

    Based on the time and date the image name for this one should be ROZRHPAD03_1319842340

    Take a look in /backup01 and tell me which files start with this name, what their full names are and how large they are - then take a look in your catalog section - netbackup\db\images\rozrhpado3\131900000\ (i am guessing here) and see what files exist in that and its sub directories - i may need to see some of there contents but lets see what is there first

    Hi Mark,

    thanks for your help. In the backup01 directory i couldn't find the mentioned image with ROZRHPAD03_1319842340. I attach a list with the files which i can see according to this name also the size. Also a file with the image db on the master server.
