So I have a new 2008 server.
Same name, same IP etc as the old 2003 6.5.5 server.
Moved everything over as 6.5.5 and seemed to test fine.
Upgrade to 7.5.0.5 and had some issue. catalog not working, image policys etc. Fixed all them
Now I can't restore a back. Clients all see the backup Backup<Archive, and restore
But if I run a backup I get this.

Is tape ID 7211L5 in the robot and is your inventory up to date?
05-03-2013 12:57 PM
Not in the robot but this happens for any restore jobs. I have ran ones with tapes that are in the Libaray. I try one from last night I get the same error. Sorry I picked a bad backup to display.
Netbackup use to just say tape is not in Libaray, and let you load it so I didn't thing about that.
Inventory is up to date and works fine.
Am I missing something?

Go back and check all the steps in the install guide too just to cover all your bases. http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH74584
Your master and EMM server both the same server correct?
When you say you "fixed all them" in reference to your catalogs and images, what did you fix?
Hate to ask, did you reboot the server after your upgrade?
What does your application and system event logs say if anything?
It's almost like your EMM database isn't right or connected.
Maybe your device configs or media types got changed in Netbackup from what they actually are. Check that your inventory is listing all the media and devices are correct type and that they match. Can you do successful backups and do a successful test restore from the new backup? Is it only old data from the 6.5 environment that you can't restore from?
Also, does the new server have at least as much memory as the old server? Have you configured any virtual swap?
05-03-2013 09:40 PM
Moved everything over as 6.5.5 and seemed to test fine.
How exactly was everything moved over? What do you consider to be everything?
requested media id is not assigned to this host in the EMM database
The above says to me the image database was moved/copied but not EMM database.
The supported and recommended way is catalog recovery: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH77447
05-07-2013 06:09 AM
When I say moved we did a full hot catalog.
Built a new server with the same name and installed 6.5.5 just like the old.
Restore the catalog "Along with setting up all drives storage units etc"
Backups run fine, and Catalogs look fine. We can see all the backups but when we try to do a restore on any date tape in libaray or not we get the above errror.
05-07-2013 06:58 AM
Hopefully the catalog recovery log file still exists?
We need to see this log file to find out if EMM database was recovered successfully.
<install-path>\VERITAS\NetBackup\Logs\user_ops\<user>\logs\Recover<date-time>.log
Big problem if images and config (e.g. policies) were recovered and not EMM - all tapes would be unassigned and overwritten by new backups.
Images still know on which tape the backup should be and which media server wrote the backup.
Please show us output of:
nbemmcmd -listmedia -mediaid 7211L5
You may want to run a 'Tape Contents' report on 7211L5 to see what is actually written on the tape.
05-07-2013 07:13 AM
Ok I can do this. We still have the old Backup sever up it is just off the network.
All old tapes are no longer in the libaray and are stored off site so they shouldn't be writen on.
Ok I am seeing nothing in the LOG files under any user maybe the issues?
I runs the nbemmcmd and I get
NBEMMCMD, Version:7.5.0.5
The fuction returned the following failure status:
volume does not exist in database (35)
command did not complete successfully.
That doesn't sound good.
05-07-2013 07:28 AM
It depends on how long ago you did the catalog recovery.
I think restore logs are only kept for 3 days and not 28 like other logs.
Did you open the Media section of the GUI after you performed the catalog recovery?
You should've been able to see all existing media with correct Assign Times and Pool info.
It seems as if EMM was not restored.
Big problem now is that you have already upgraded to 7.5 and started doing backups - so we cannot recover missing EMM entries from the old catalog backup.
The only solution that I can see is to run nbcc and submit to Symantec Support.
They will provide scripts to re-add media to EMM database.
05-07-2013 07:39 AM
I have a ticket open with them now. This was done last week so it has been over 3 days. I am in the GUI and everything looked good. I swear we tested a restore but it looks like I was wrong.
Thank you for all your help I will update with status when we are fixed.
05-07-2013 07:46 AM
When you did your catalog recovery did you install NetBackup before changing the name of the new Server or has it always been the same name?
Does the new one and old one both have the same NetBackup name (i.e. server and server rather than server and server.domain.com)?
In relation to this line:
"Upgrade to 7.5.0.5 and had some issue. catalog not working, image policys etc. Fixed all them"
What exactly did you do to fix then all?
05-07-2013 10:03 AM
Server have the same name and IP. None of that was change.
catalog issue was the files were not brough over when moving to the new server. There was a folder on the root of C the last admin made that the catalogs were stored, and saving to. This was not moved. Once I moved this catalogs started to work again.
05-07-2013 12:53 PM
Seems moving of catalogs to another location always create issues with catalog migration.
I'm still wondering what happened to your EMM database. Seems we will never know because the Recover log no longer exists.
All I can suggest now is to download nbcc from http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH156730 and submit the output to Symantec Support.
05-08-2013 01:28 AM
Sounds like you have just copied the catalog files (images etc) across from the old server but have not restored the EMM Database.
This is why you now have no media, just a list of backup images.
Does the old server still exist along with its files?
Did you duplkicate the disk based catalogs to tape?
If not then i think you are quite possibly in a mess i am afraid.
05-08-2013 05:30 AM
Mark
I didn't copy anything but the catalog. I guess I missed this step some where
Yes the old server is still up and running just not on the network. I can connect to it and copy what is needed I just need to know what is needed and where it is.
Yes all catalogs, jobs end up on tape.
Also before we upgraded to 6.5.5 I pulled the mirrored drive so if I have to go back to 6.5.5. I can swap the drive in and start over. I just need to do this soon since it sounds like we are going to lose a week of backsup.
I have a call into the help desk also sent the NBCC abd NBSU files to them been a day since I have heard back.
So what needs to be copied from where I guess is my issues. If I lose a week I can deal with that. I can't lose 4 years worth of backups.
05-08-2013 06:00 AM
You cannot copy EMM database from the old server:
The only solution is to wait for Support to get back with nbcc analysis and scripts.
Seems your tapes are at least safe as they are out of the robot.
05-08-2013 06:13 AM
Thank you Marianne. Like i said if I have to I can put in the old Mirrored drive and start fress.
Yes the tape should be fine since 90% are off site.
I will wait to see what Supports says to do.
