tape from different pool

[SARA_8]

Hello

I changed a volume pool for a policy type standard from Pool_old to Pool_new

I run a maual backup for the policy. but the job details shows that the job is using a tape which I found out it belongs to Pool_old !!

I canceled the job and refreshed the policy but I still have the same problem

note: no override on the volume pool and bpplinfo mypolicy -U shows that the policy use Pool_new !!

any suggestion?

Try 'nbpemreq -updatepolicies' after policy changes have been made..

The default policy re-read by nbpem is 10 minutes.

it's been more thatn 2 hours and nbpem is not updating policy every 10 min !

I have personally experienced problems when making changes to policies (schedules, in my case).
nbpemreq -updatepolicies did not work for me.

You can also try 'nbpemreq -rereadconfig'.

If that does not work, I'm afraid you will need to restart NBU.

If you don't mind, please provide output of 'bppllist <policy-name> -U'

Hi,

are you tried to create new policy with Pool_new volume pool?

[Mark_Solutions]

If possible shut down NetBackup (provided nothing is running) and then check for any orphaned processes and kill them off or reboot the Master Then bring NetBackup up again, wait 10 minutes and try again - that should have forced everything to be re-read and got rid of any orphaned processes that could be locking your changes Hope this helps
