SLP - duplication

[Dirk_Mueller]

Hi,

I determined some backups, what was not be duplicated since a few days.

Now I want to start them manually. How can I do that?

Kind regards

Dirk

First of all - please tell us which NBU version... There have been many SLP enhancements with each update.

Please verify that nbstserv is running. I have seen SLP's not starting because nbstserv wasn't running (https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/slps-stopped-processing).

Also have a look at this Best Practice guide for commands to query the SLP worklist: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH75047

My NBU version is 6.5.5.

nbstserv is really running. Otherwise I think there´s no way to run duplications.

Our duplication run´s well. The lifecycle-parameters were checked by Symantec - they are ok. I check my duplications every morning with:

nbstlutil stlilist -image_incomplete -U

Now I found some backups what was not be duplicated for 5 days. I want to start them now, if it is possible.

Any Idea???

You can start to duplicate slp images through nbstlutil -active command

Not too sure but you can give it a try

I tried it yesterday with

nbstlutil active -backupid xxx

I got no error, but until now the backups were not be duplicated :(

I have found the problem.

The backups were duplicated successfully, only the nbstlutil-output is wrong.

Now I expire the primary-copy.

Kind regards

Please cancel the duplications for the jobs that have incorrect status.

You might want to log a support call with Symantec - if this is a bug, best if they know about it.

good idea - thanks Marianne.
