Missed this discussion thread a month ago.
I have 14 media in my Netbackup pool, just for DB backups (4 offsite at any
time).
I run the bpsyncinfo -id1 -id2 blah blah command once a day to set the
correct media for DBbackup for that day.
It worked fine for 6 months and then started producing Dr Watson errors (NT
master I'm afraid) every time it ran.
Fixed it by putting "-verbose" on the end of the command (weird fix!!)
Then it went wrong again a month later, fixed it by deleting all my
Netbackup Pool tapes.
It's gone wrong again (Dr Watsons) and refuses to be fixed at all now, any
ideas?
(NBU 3.1.5, trying to find time to upgrade)

destination?
In half English/half script:
bpsyncinfo -l will list the last written barcode twice. Let's assume that's
the one to be replaced. If last written is also the barcode in position 1
then $tape_id = -id1 and $densitystr = -d1. Else $tape_id will be -id2 and
$densitystr will be -d2.
In the example below CMD003 is last written, CMD001 is in position1:
SYNC 0 2 0 0 0 0 *NULL*
SYNCSERV "servername" CMD003 CMD001 2 13 981007677 980788606 0 *NULL* CMD003
2 13 981093437 979577103 0 *NULL* 1 -1 -1 -1 /usr/openv/netbackup/db
/usr/openv/volmgr/database
Use vmquery -bx -p 1 (or whatever your netbackup pool number is) to select a
barcode that's *not* listed in the sync file, but *is* in the netbackup pool
and *is* in the robot. We have four tapes in the netbackup pool; one is out
of the robot and the other two are in the sync file, so I only have the
choice of one tape to assign to $barcode. I realize this part is really site
specific.
Then from the command line:
bpsyncinfo $tape_id $barcode $densitystr dlt (using values, obviously, and
replace dlt at the end if necessary.)
Well, that's how we do it. I have this in a perl script that also does a
couple of other things.
HTH,
Ron
