Just as the subject reads, im having an issue when our offsite tapes and new tapes are loaded into the SL500, the next time Netbackup runs its inventory the tapes are placed into the Netbackup Catalog pool. They should go to the scratch pool and our main pool.
A little background: We are on 6.5 now for about a month. I noticed this problem when backups failed due to having no media available. Maser server is on Solaris 9. A currently have an open case with Symantec working on getting NOM to run properly.
We do not have hot catalog backups set up, but I have the cold catalog backups set to go to disk primary then nothing secondary.
I have a few question's, one, why is it doing this now? Two, I "changed" the tapes pool from Catalog backup to our primary pool so backups would continue, is this bad? Why does netbackup not recongnize these tapes as scratch tapes, and is it bad that I moved them into the primary pool and not the scratch pool.
I was going to open another case, but I thought I'd try here first.
Thanks in advanced, Mike
