command to duplicate from tape to disk?

Tapes have been imported from site A to site B.

On site B phase 2 import completed successfully.

Now restore needs to be done from disk on site B.For this we need to duplicate to local disk on site B.(AND THAT WILL BE PRIMARY COPY.ONLY ONE COPY IS NEEDED.

PLEASE PROVIDE THE COMMAND.

sudo ./bpduplicate -id L00005  -dstunit STU1-DD

What does this command show? : bpimmedia -l -mediaid L00005

[mph999]

I could be wrong, but I have a strong feeling that it is not possible to dupplicate a tape that has been imported. I am 99% sure of this. Martin

[noazara]

It is possible.

Please provide me the correct syntax

[revarooo]

Try duplicating using the images

[noazara]

I need to have the command so that duplication can occur from the media id.

That will be simple for me.we have 20 medias.

[mph999]

I really really think it is not possiible. You appear to have the correct syntax. Tell you what, I'll try it - need a few mins to log on to a server and run the test

[John_P_Lockney]

Syntax is out of order (?)  Try it with the destination STU first:

sudo ./bpduplicate  -dstunit STU1-DD  -id L00005

[noazara]

Ok Martin.

We have data domain.One duplication to disk is running successfully from tape.

[mph999]

OK, first, this is a duplication to disk, using the sytax you had, on a tape that was not imported

root@nbmaster00 testdata $ bpduplicate -id E01010 -dstunit nbmaster00-disk

It works fine.

Next I will export, then import the tape and use the same command to try and duplicat it to the same STU.

Back in a couple of mins ...

[noazara]

U have copied here from disk to tape?

[mph999]

Hmm, small delay, the import is failing for some reason - might need to grab another machine ...

[noazara]

ok Martin.Take ur time

[mph999]

OK, fixed, tape imported:

OK, it did import, so I was mistaken ....

Hmm, not sure whats going on here, without looking in bpdbm log, and even then it may not be too clear.

How about this:

Run bpmedialist -m L00005 -mcontents

Grab the backup ids and then duplicate via backupid

bpduplicate -backupid <backupid>  -dstunit L00005

Not ideal, but it will hopefully get the job done.

Martin

[mph999]

Opps, make that the admin log as well ...

[noazara]

I need to get the data on disk .

[mph999]

Hopefully you will.

If you run mcontents, then you will list the backup ids on the tape, then for each backup id run the bpduplicate command like I have shown.

It works around the problem.

Another option, expire the tape and reimport it, perhaps something isn't quite right and it will work second time around.

I can't think of many other options, sure we can spend time looking in the admin log, but at the end of the day, that isn't going to make it work, it might tel us why, but I would suggest trying these two suggestions, and then if still no progress, look in the logs.

It is late here, I have to go soon as I need some sleep - I'll check back in a few mins, but I'm not sure what else I can do at the moment.

[mph999 · Accepted solution]

This is how easy it is ...

root@nbmaster00 admin $ bpmedialist -m E01010 -mcontents

media id = E01010, allocated 07/02/2013 14:31, retention level = 1

File number 1

  Backup id = nbmaster00_1372800666

  Creation date = 07/02/2013 14:31

  Expiration date = 07/16/2013 14:31

  Retention level = 1

  Copy number = 1

  Fragment number = 1

  Block size (in bytes) = 65536

Then for each backupid (only one on this tape)

root@nbmaster00 admin $ bpduplicate -backupid nbmaster00_1372800666 -dstunit nbmaster00-disk
