Regarding duplication

I have 2 active tapes however duplication getting failed with error 96
  • Hi Mehul ,

    I am with Marianne , By default netbackup does not allow the multiple retentions per media.

    You can check wherther it is enabled or not in two ways.

    Direction 1 : Host properties --> Master server --> Media --> Allow multiple retentions per media (Checkbox)

    Direction 2 : Run the below commad with your media server name .  

    nbemmcmd -listsettings -machinename

    if you find it set to "yes" then it is enabled :  ALLOW_MULTIPLE_RETENTIONS_PER_MEDIA="yes" 

    ******************************************************************************************************************

    1 . I assume in your master multiple retentions are not place.

    2.  Since the two active media's are already holding active images , no further images with different retentions can  be written to that.

    That is the reason you see SC:96 with your duplications. 

  • Manually duplicate to what?
    STU?
    Pool?
    Retention?

    Can you confirm that 'active' media matches robot, density (for selected STU), pool and retention level?

      i checked using bpmedialist and got to know both the media's are expiring on 20th this month and backups for which I am initiating the duplication are for monthly backups which have rentention of 6 months.

      This might be the reason?

        NetBackup does not mix retention levels on same media.
