Backup Image Duplication for Imported Image in TargetedAIR in Secondary Site

alpha_it
Level 3

Hi,

I have production site and 2 DR sites.

Backup images that have been made in PROD site replicated to DR site based on TargetedAIR.

In both DR sites images after import must be duplicated on Tape(LTO7). Image Import completes without any error and
appears in catalog, but Duplicated Images on tape appears completely random in catalog search.

Let me explain the problem with an example:

PORD Site:
Backup to DD, retention 3 days
Replicate to DR Site1, retention 3 days 
Replicate to DR Site2, retention 3 days 
Duplicate on Tape(LTO7), retention 3 weeks

DR site 1:
Import from DD STU, retention target
Duplicate on Tape(LTO7), retention 3 weeks

DR site 2:
Import from DD STU, retention target
Duplicate on Tape(LTO7), retention 3 weeks

Backup images appears on DDs in DR sites as expected(3 images on every DDs), but images on Tapes in DR sites
appear completely random. i.e. there is 5 images on tape in DR site1 and 4 images on tape in DR site2 with 
different dates from DR site1, instead of 18 backup images.

Its necessary to mention that i've defined custom import SLPs in each site for import and duplication operations.

So why duplication on tape didn't performed correctly? and how can I fix this?

Regards

Could you run the below commands from DR 1 and DR 2.. lets start by checking if there are any pending images and also you basic slp configuration

1. nbstlutil report
2. nbstlutil stlilist -lifecycle <slp_name> -image_incomplete -U
3. nbstlutil list -lifecycle <slp_name> -U
4. nbstl <slp_name> -all_versions -L

thank you Amol_Nair,

Greatly appreciate your fast reply,

I'll check them and post the results here ASAP.
