Storgae unit is full Netackup 8.1.1

Hi I have a problem, When i do backups , any of them i get this message "Storage unit is full error 129" but when I check my Disk I can see that I still have a lot of space ( 300gb ) And I dont understand why I get this error.

 

My backup system is a deduplicaiton

  • Hello

    Well there is always some reserved space...

    use this command to verify your case:

    nbdevconfig -getconfig -stype PureDisk -storage_server servername -U

    Look after 

    Configuration Item: "Storage Pool Reserved Space" = "xxx TB" [string] readonly
    Description: "Storage Pool Reserved Space"

  • I Found it on Credential --> Storage Servers --> Properties

    There is this : 

    Storage Pool Reserved place : 336 GB

    Storage Pool size : 7.9 TB

    Storage Pool Used Space : 7.5 TB

    Storage Pool Available Space : 321 GB

     

    Does that mean that the space available is only the reserved place and then there's no more choice that review our policiy backup or add new disk ? 

     

    Thank you

      Hello

      Well as you can see from above there is reserved 336 GB and free is 321 - so free is less then reserved - so my take is the pool is out of disk space...

  • From what I understand im still supposed to have 321 gb free

      Yes but it depends on the amount of data you are trying to backup..
      The easiest way is to add more space or simply expire old backups ( you have to expire a lot of backups to have significant gain of space)
      One more thing, You may have ( I m quite sure you do) orphaned images.
      I suggest that you contact veritas support and ask for check of orphaned images using POgather tool.
      Good luck
