bash-4.1# bpmedialist -m 002741
requested media id is not assigned to this host in the EMM database

as you can See the Media is not assigned

I changed the Media owner to hkgwkgpinnbu04r

and then tried but no luck

I tried to initiate import and then look .

it help and now I can See media as assigned and bpmedialist output as below..

bash-4.1# bpmedialist -m 002741
Server Host = hkgwkgpinnbu04r

tried to trigger the restor and found that the the restor is Yet going on the same media Server instead on hkgwkgpinnbu04r and same error again

let me mention that the backup is taken in 2007 by Netbackup 5.X

Please suggest..

Was nbcc output sent to Symantec for analysis before NBU 5.x upgrade to 6.x?

It seems that you had catalog inconcistencies that were simply carried over to upgraded environment.

According to vmquery output, tape was first added to this environment in 2012 (supposed to be 2007?):

created:               Tue May 15 16:56:50 GMT+08:00 2012

or in 2008 : image RG908_1214849460 = Mon Jun 30 20:11:00 2008

So, it seems the image database knows about the backup on this tape, not the EMM database. The name of the media server that wrote the backup will also be recorded in the image database.

Please show us output of:

bpimagelist -backupid RG908_1214849460 -L

The next thing to check is tape drives in your environment. Media seems to be LTO2? 

What type of tape drives do you currently have in your environment?

You need to have a tape drive that is capable of reading this tape and the density in NBU must be set to hcart2 to match the media density.

we have all LTO series of Tape Drives uptill LTO4..

although I can change the density but for that I need to know where is it getting directed.

as you can See that the backup Server was RG908 (linux) and the laster Server where the Media was mounted is RG902 (Linux) and now the Media is on HKGWKGPINNNBU04R (a Windows media Server)

Please suggest..

[Marianne · Accepted solution]

We see that the image 'belongs' to Host: rg902. 

That is where the restore will be sent to. If you have bprd log enabled on the master, you will find evidence in the bprd log. (If log folder does not exist, please create it and restart NBU on the master.)

Best to change media and image ownership to ONE media server.
To change media ownership, use bpmedia command.
To change image ownership, use bpimage command.

Ensure that you have at least one tape drive on media server rg902 with density of hcart2.

Hello Marianne,

it worked I tried

bpmedia -movedb -m <002741> -newserver hkgwkgpinnbu04r -oldserver hkgwkgpinnbu04r

i.e I tried keeping the old server and new server as same and it worked this time..

thanks for your help
