Netbackup 10 primary server nbrepo errors

Hi,

i try to add sja package in order to install EBB on primary server, but command nbrepo -a fails with this error:

[root@nbprimary tmp]# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbrepo -a nbeeb.client_4091698.1_8.3.0.1_redhat_x64.sja
Adding package to the repository. This may take a few minutes...
Error: Package already exists in the repository.

If i try nbrepo -l, it not show package eventually "before" added.

Please someone may help me?

Thanks and Regards

    Hi albatroz19 

    Check the folder on the server - /usr/openv/var/global/repo - and see if the file exists there - assuming it does not, try copying the sja file directly to this folder and try the "nbrepo -l" command again. It's possible that the repository DB has become confused as to the installation status (it thinks it is, but the file does not exist). This can happen if someone tries to add the same sja file into the repository when it already exists.

    You can also check the nbrepo log files (you may need to create the directory nbrepo first) which should give you more clues (especially with increased verbosity). 

    Cheers
    David

    Hi albatroz19 

    Didn't I sugest manually copying the sja file directly into the repo directory? I do not see the redhat version listed in the output provided. I'll repeat copy the sja file directly to the repo directory, then run the "nbrepo -l" command - do not try to add the file again.

    Cheers
