SLP Nightmare - multiple versions of incomplete duplication

Hello All, 

 

I had to replace some hardware in a tape drive (picker & drive).  The tape # changed from tld4 to tld3. Of course after the fact I'm getting errors (2001) because Version 8 of the SLP is still trying to process to tld 4 that doesn't exist.  

Is there an easy way to fix this?   I'm a gui girl.   Can I remove/delete slps?  or change I modify the previous version to point to the new tld3?

SLPs are great , but not when you have to modify.  You either have to change all the policies or the SLP.  Or create a new one, but how does that help the old images that are incomplete?

    You would need to run below commands:-

    Path is <install path>\netbackup\bin\admincmd or /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd:-

    nbstl QTS-ATL-7Year -modify_version -version 2 -residence LDATL00NASBAK02STU,lsatl00bakmed02-hcart2-robot-tld-3

    nbstl QTS-ATL-7Year -modify_version -version 3 -residence LDATL00NASBAK02STU,lsatl00bakmed02-hcart2-robot-tld-3

    nbstl QTS-ATL-7Year -modify_version -version 5 -residence LDATL00NASBAK02STU,lsatl00bakmed02-hcart2-robot-tld-3

    Important for version 6 and 8 if you want to change or not:- Original Storage unit used for backup is LDATL00NASBAK02STU and for duplicate is lsatl00bakmed02-hcart2-robot-tld-2

    Below is the command if you want to move it to tld3 for version 6 and 8:-

    nbstl QTS-ATL-7Year -modify_version -version 6 -residence LDATL00NASBAK02STU,lsatl00bakmed02-hcart2-robot-tld-3

    nbstl QTS-ATL-7Year -modify_version -version 7 -residence LDATL00NASBAK02STU,lsatl00bakmed02-hcart2-robot-tld-3

    Then activate the SLP and monitor the jobs.

    To check the size of duplication pending you can run below command:-

    nbstlutil report

    You would want to use the nbstl command. Take a look at the Commands Guide PDF that you can download from Veritas and review the section in regards to the nbstl command.

    In order to edit your older SLP version, it would look something like this. If you have multiple destinations, they would be added to the residence attribute in the order they are written to.

    <install path>\admincmd\nbstl <SLP name> -modify_version -version <version number> -residence <tld3_name>

    Here is link to a pretty simple explanation about the process, hope it helps.

        You should be able to list the SLP versions with the nbstl command, and I think I saw somewhere on here where you can use the nbstlutil command to tell it to use another version.

        So - update the SLP as you want, determine the version, update the SLP image to use the new version.

        I have not done this, so it may not work.

         

        In the mean time, you should be able to inactive the SLP images so they stop trying to run.
