Dear All,
We are trying to delete a decommissioned PDDO disk pool from a customers NetBackup 7.5.0.1 domain.
We have cleared the catalog down of entries for the disk pool
We have successfully run nbdelete -allvolumes -force
We have sucessfully run bpimage -cleanup -allclients
The images on disk reports a single image with a number of fragments still residing on the disk pool.
I tried the nbstlutil remove_all command but this appears to have been decommisioned in this version of netbackup.
The images show in the nbstlutil list -mediaid @aaaab
Does anyone know how we remove this image from the EMM database and Storage Lifecycle Polcieis control?
Solved! Go to Solution.

this was solved by a script from Symantec support to remove the orphaned images from the database.
This removed all references to the orphaned images from the database and allowed the removal of the disk pool.

try nbstlutil cancel with appropriate switch
-lifecycle name
or
-destination name
or
-backupid value

WR,
The command succeeds but the image remains in the nbstlutil list -media @aaaab command output.
the disk pool wont delete.
I've tried running the nbdelete and bplimage -cleanup commands after and the image still remains in EMM.
I'll keep investigating.

That's the technote that i found..
It appears that in 7.5.0.1 that the command no longer works.
The nbstlutil remove_all command shows as "This command is will be deprecriated and is not supported"
Following this technote results in the images being deleted from the Catalog but they still show in the
nbstlutil list -U -mediaid @aaaab

@mstinton,
I remember running that command#2 from the article on a 5220 2.5.1, few months back while working on a scenario, it worked good.
Customer has to carefully mention the media id @xyz1 and also not to forget use -force option.

try this:
nbstlutil list -mediaid @aaaab
nbstlutil -cancel -force -backupid <image>
bpexpdate -d 0 -force -notimmediate -backupid <image>
nbdelete -allvolumes -force
If that does not work, try phase 1 & 2 import of all the images on the disk, then manual expiration.

The definetly does not work on 7.5.0.1.
It shows as depreciated with an english in the message stating that it is depreciated.

That command doesn't function either.
The PureDisk pool is inoperable so we can't try import and manually expire.
I'm going to Log a call with bcs support as one solution is a custom SQL script from support.

Have you tried using nbemmcmd -deletehost ...

The disk pool that we are removing is a PureDisk dedupliction pool but the customer also utilises Media Server deduplication on the media servers in the environment.
the media servers are still in use so we can't use the detete host command.
We are currently engaged with Symantec BCS support and Engineering to develop a fix for the rogue images.
It appears that the backup image are incorrectly still held in the emm database but don't appear anywhere in the image database.
