Netbackup 7.6 - Cannot delete from diskpool

[amphet]

Hi,

I need to delete some image on a diskpool (who will be deleted after) so i list image contains with this command :

bpimmedia -L -stype DiskPool -dp "mydispoolname"

From here i have a complete list of image on this pool (example below) :

Backup-ID          Policy                 On Hold Indexing    ScheduleType
Copy  Frag  Expires                   DiskType             DiskPoolName              DiskVolume                StorageServerName    On Hold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mutdag001.hebergemen CFI-EXCH-MBX         0       0           FULL
1     1     1432918241                DiskPool             DCRCVXNAS003POL002        O:\                       dcrcvxsrpbck003.shd. 0      
1     2     1432918241                DiskPool             DCRCVXNAS003POL002        O:\                       dcrcvxsrpbck003.shd. 0      
1     3     1432918241                DiskPool             DCRCVXNAS003POL002        O:\                       dcrcvxsrpbck003.shd. 0      
1     4     1432918241                DiskPool             DCRCVXNAS003POL002        O:\                       dcrcvxsrpbck003.shd. 0     

But when i try to delete those image (command below), the command returns this :

bpexpdate -M dcrsrvbck001 -notimmediate -force -d 0 -copy 1 -backupid ‘mutdag001.hebergemen’

an invalid entry was encountered

I tried with the full backupid (whos my client name) same result.

Any help would be appreciate.

Try again but post up the admin log (directory must exist first under netbackup\logs\).

Also try the command with out the quotes ' ' around the image name.

If you are using SLP for the backup and replicating the backup image to remote master server after backup. Then first check is there any pending operation in SLP for corresponding backup id, if yes then you would not be able to expire backup image util SLP complete its pending operation or you need to manually cancel the SLP pending operation of correding to backup id

Backupid does not look right : bpexpdate -M dcrsrvbck001 -notimmediate -force -d 0 -copy 1 -backupid ‘mutdag001.hebergemen’

The -L flag causes NBU to truncate the backup id

bpimmedia -L -stype PureDisk

The right format for backup id is "hostname_{backup time}". The backup time is in EPOCH value.

Also, do not surround the backup ID with single quotes.
