Hi All, Our current Netbackup master server is at Windows Server 2003 -32 bit. Netbackup version is 7.0.1 We have a plan to upgrade the master server to Netbackup 8.1 Considering the compatibilities, we have thought of the following steps: 1)First upgrade the Netbackup version to 7.5. 2)Take catalog backup. 3)Install fresh Windows Server 2008 -64 bit on the same server. 4)Install Netbackup 7.5 on the 2008 OS. 5)Do full catalog recovery to the server. 6)Upgrade netbackup to 7.7/8.0. 7)Upgrade OS to server 2012 8)Upgrade Netbackup from 7.7/8.0 to 8.1 Please advise whether Netbackup 7.5 is supported on Windows 2003- 32 bit, as the first step we plan to do is to upgrade netbackup to 7.5. Also, please advise if all of the above plan of actions will help us reach our goal. Thank you.5.1KViews0likes15CommentsError code 48

Hi... firstly, I'm running NetBackup v6.0 MP4, which is pretty old. I built my server specifically to duplicate a load of legacy backups onto newer LTO6 tapes, and that process worked perfectly well. That piece of work was completed 5 years ago. Using the exactly same server and the duplicate tapes, I'm now attempting to perform restores. However this hasn't started as easily as I thought it would. I can see the required tapes listed in the Catalog, however the problem starts when I select the associated images to Import. I right click an image, select Import, I enter the tape ID, the tape loads into a drive via the robot, I see a message on the robot display saying Reading... then after a couple of seconds it stops just sits there saying Ready. The acitivty log shows the process starting, access is granted to the tape resource, then access is granted to the LTO drive and the tape loads. I have seen the following error: 1620 error requesting media: TpErrno=Robot operation failed. A pending request has been generated for this resource request. Operator action may be required. Pending Action: Tape is unmountable Media ID: DA0026 Barcode: DA0026 Access Mode: Read Volume Group: 000_00000_TLD I have successfully completed all tests against the robot, that's definitely working properly. This has been driving me mad for a week, hopefully someone can help. Thanks, SteveSolved2.5KViews0likes7CommentsNetbackup Restoring data to SAN attached to Master Server
I have a standalone Windows server with an HP MSA SAN attached via iSCSI, the environment includes a TLD. Master/Media Server is Netbackup 6.0 MP4: Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise (32bit) I recently attached the SAN to the Netbackup server in order to use it as a restoration/storage repository. In Windows Disk Manager I have defined 3 paritions, 18TB each, and they are accessible in Explorer. I have a bunch of tapes that I'd like to restore onto the SAN, and I assumed that I could simply choose the files I want, and restore them to a drive located on the SAN, E:\. When attempting restoration, the tape loads and begins reading, then after about 2mins there's an error. bpbrm(pid=4404) listen for client protocol error - couldn't accept from data socket. Cannot connect on socket(25) Even though the SAN is attached to the Master server via iSCSI, do I need to install a client for this to work? I thought a client was only required if using Fibre Channel connecting to something like a VMware environment.Solved2.2KViews0likes10CommentsNetbackup error status 156
Dear All, I find the job backup status error code 156 , 8 and 96 job status, Error code 156: I check the bpfis and bpkar , to find the job backup error on the Split BCV (snopshot) freeze and failed to backup the flash copy backup policy . Error code 96 The backup job failed to find the driver for backup but I find the one tape drvie always remain not using anymore, check there is no hardware issue. I am not sure if there is enable setting for Multiple plexing or multi data stream relative issue. May I know how to further check the log to find the error code 156 and setting for 96 issue?
