Hello,
NB 7.5.0.1
I'm reimaging a nb5220 appliance. I have to delete the old disk pool and the storage server. But I have a SLP image pointing to the disk pool that is in IN_PROCESS state.
This is a fake entry, because the backup is 5 days old. If I leave the SLP active, the duplication job don't start.
Any hint or suggestion to solve the problem is very apreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.

You could also try this one "bpexpdate -backupid xxxx_xxxxxxxx -d 0 -force_not_complete"

If you don't care about the image, cancel it.
nbstlutil cancel -backupid <backupid>
You can then expire it, and delete the disk pool.
If you do care about the image, don't cancel it and reoprt back here ...

Thanks for your reply.
I don't care the image, but I've already tried:
[root@nbmaster ~]# nbstlutil cancel -backupid oratest_1345835570
Operation not successful: unable to process request
The bpexpdate command doesn't work too:
[root@nbmaster ~]# bpexpdate -backupid oratest_1345835570 -d 0
Are you SURE you want to delete wbigdbora1.apss.tn.it_1345835570 y/n (n)? y
Backup image cannot be expired because its SLP processing is not yet complete

Hmm, at 7.5 if you can't cancel the SLP with the nbstlutil command, the only option is to log a call with Symantec so that they can change the state of the image(s) in the EMM DB to completed.
There used to be a option in nbstlutil that would force this, but they took it out.

did you try :
nbstlutil cancel -lifecyle lifecyclename
or even - to make sure everything everywhere is cancelled:
nbstlutil cancel
#edit# assuming that you only use this one lifecycle as this really will cancel every lifecycle in your environment!!

Thanks for your answers.
I deleted the image using Bmitche command, and bpimagelist returns "no entity found", but the SLP image is still in process....
I wll try to restart nbevtmger asap (they are SLP running now) and I'll let you know

After a while the image has gone from the SLP queue without restarting services.
The "force_not_complete" bpexpdate option did the job. I noticed this option is not documented in the 7.5 Command Reference Guide.
Thanks again and have a nice day.
