Backups are successful, but not showing in Catalogue search

[camerons]

I'm running netbackup v6.5.4 against on a server 2008 r2 Standard SP1 physical box.

If I look at my job logs I am seeing completed jobs, but whenever I search the catalog no matter the options or date ranges it shows up empty. I've tried bouncing the services.

Hoping someone could offer some insight. If perhaps I have a corrupted catalogue or something.

Search via what method? Via admin gui I imagine youve just not got the search params correct eg Policy Type = MS Windows...dates...actual name of host ? 

Or youve set retention to something very short and they expire rather too rapidly.

A screenshot could be of benefit here.

BTW You are very down rev,

DId you try from the GUI..?

check in command line by using the command bpimagelist and bpcatlist and see how it works..

[Mark_Solutions]

Yes - screenshots please - of the job itself so we can see client name at least and of your search in the catalog section

If in doubt use All Clients for your seach to see how it is named (especially useful for VMware / DAG type backups!)

Check your catalog database for consistency first.

bpdbm -consistency 1

bpdbm -consistency 2

Do you also see output from any of the various Reports in the GUI.?

Are you backing up to tape or disk?

[camerons]

bpdbm did producess a good amount of output. If you look in the backups directory the content is there. The GUI just won't show it.

No output from the reports and I'm backing up from disk

[camerons]

I think the consistency check fixed it. The catalogue is showing up as expected and that's the only thing I did.

Thanks!!

Glad you found your backup images!

Now - 
PLEASE schedule NBU upgrade as a matter of urgency.

NBU 6.5 ran out of of support in Oct 2012.
If you cannot restore your critical servers, you have nowhere to go for support.

You can also display client catalog information from the command line:

bpclimagelist: 
USAGE: bpclimagelist [-U | -Likelydate] [-Listseconds]
      [-client clientname] [-server servername] [-BE]
      [-t FULL | INCR | CINC | UBAK | UARC | TLOG | ANY | NOT_ARCHIVE]
      [-policy policy_name] [-keyword "keyword phrase"] [-ct client_type]
      [-s mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS] [-e mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS]

The command can be invoked from any valid client or server. The values for the options client, server and client type default to values of the client/server that issued the command.  It can be as minimalistic as:

bpclimagelist -client client_name           (if invoked from the Master and they are both the same OS type)

The other options are for filtering out the results.
