Unable to modify a previous version of SLP on Netbackup 8.0
When trying to modify a previous version of SLP to change the duplication residence, it fails at the command line. The previous Storage Unit definition was very long and doesn't fully show up in the listing. The full name is "grs-nbus2-hcart2-robot-tld-0". I've created a shorter Storage Unit called "nbus2-hcart3", but the nbstl utility still doesn't work.
All Storage Unit names are lower case only.
Successful outcomes are:
- Find a way to change the residence in the older version of the SLP weekly-nbus2.
- Stop the Duplication jobs from being processed (and subsequently failing due to incorrect Storage Unit density parameter)
Regards,
Wayne

Hi wdoust
I think I understand now - powershell (I didn't realise you were using that) must mess up the arguments. Try (I'd be curious to make sure this works) putting single quotes around the argument for -residence, so something like this:
.\nbstl -modify_version -version 16 -residence 'stu-nbus2-msdp,nbus2-hcart3'
No quotes give me the same error in a PS (even on the master), and double quotes also don't work. But the above syntax allowed me to change the target STU.Thanks for helping find out something new.
Cheers
David
