Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] switch primary backup with duplicate tape
Hi again,
I type in the wrong backupid. Sorry for the typo. You
are right, when I ran "bpduplicate -npc 2 -backupid
sunprod_1068584871" it did change the primary backup
tape from 1 to 2. I used bpimagelist command to check
for primary copy number.
Thank you for your help again. I think bpduplicate
command should echo back if successfully change the
primary copy. Hopefully they implement that in future.
regards,
Feroz
