I would appreciate your comments and suggestions.

Thank you very much in advance.

  • Hi, this issue has been resolved. 

    I am very much thankful to one symantec support engr for the continuous support even our nbu (6.5) is EOS.

     

    This was her findings:

     "we found that drive 5 [atp4nfs02P-drive] contains stuck tape P30749.

    Please make sure you remove the stuck tape and move it to appropriate slot.

    Also for testing purpose I had moved media P30068 to drive 3. Please move the tape back to the slot.

    Then stop and restart nbu services.

    Once done test a restore."

    After all, restore jobs were successful. Im just confused why error and logs are different from the real case. It should say there's a stucked tape. Anyway..thanks!!

     

     

     

  • This looks like a network timeout.

    You need the following logs on NDMP media server:

    ndmpagent, bpbrm and bptm.

    Increase logging level for bptm and bpbrm to minimum of 3.
