Image Cleanup Status 1

[wfkidd]

Hello,

I am using Veritas NetBackup version 6.5.5.

I have an image cleanup job that exits with a status of one in the activity monitor.

The job details show this:

Error nbdelete (pid=22555) Fragments were not removed. Server <server_name> is not available (228 )

Which is true, the server is no longer a part of our infrastructure.

My question is, how do I remove this server or job or what ever in order to get rid of the warning?

Thanks,

William

Try:

nbdelete -allvolumes -force

Wait. Your NB version is under 7.0. I gues you should better follow Andy`s thread/suggestion

[wfkidd]

What I really want to do is remove <server_name> from the job as it no longer exists.

Thanks for the replies,

William

Did you try running the nbdelete command?

Don't worry about the command it doesn't actually delete everything!

The issue may be images owned by old media server.

Use this command to move ALL volumes from old no longer existing media server, to new responsive media server...

bpmedia -movedb -allvolumes -newserver newservername -oldserver oldservername

[wfkidd]

No, I did no try the nbdelete command. I want the job to quit trying to access a server that doesn't exist.

Genericus,

That sounds closer to what I am looking for. I am assuming

bpmedia -movedb -allvolumes -newserver newservername -oldserver oldservername

should be run on the master server?

[Mark_Solutions]

Run an All Log Entires report in the admin console

That will list, during the image cleanup the exact image ID's that it cannot delete

You can then do a bpexpdate -backupid XXXX -d 0 -copy X -force

to remove them from the catalog and sort this one for you

Do be careful to select the correct copy number just in case you have more than one copy (IE disk / tape)

You probably also need to do a:

bpimage -newserver existingserver -oldserver themissingone

to transfer ownership of all images owned by the old server to one that does exist

Hope this helps

Run the command on the master server, it only updates the EMM database and the image files.

The new command that decommisions media servers does all this automatically, I find it is well worth running when removing or replacing a media server.

Interestingly ( at least in my experience ) the -allvolumes runs lots faster than selecting the individual media ID if you are doing a bulk move.

Check if Media server <server_name> is still in your EMM database:

#nbemmcmd -listhosts -verbose

If it's still in place you have to decommission it first. Also check if there are any images in DB belong to this media-server:

#bpimagelist -server <server_name>
