Re: [Veritas-bu] Tapes not staying in Volume pools (NBU6.5)

John,

If you are using special barcode sequence for the weekly backups then set up a barcode rule (inventory, advanced); otherwise, what is the problem with letting the tapes come from scratch and being put into the correct pool. They will be assigned by pool name and retention.

NetBackup is a managed application: Either you manage it, or it manages you!

Thanks,

You may want to investigate the RETURN_UNASSIGNED_MEDIA_TO_SCRATCH_POOL parameter (vm.conf in pre-6.x and set via nbemmcmd on 6.x).

It's a yes/no thing and will NOT return media to scratch if that's not where they came from. But this (along with having or not having a scratch pool) is an all or nothing proposition (it can't be set for a particular pool or set of tapes or fill in the blank for you you'd like to slice and dice).

if you do not have a scratch pool defined, this will not happen, if I understand correctly.

Hello all;

I'm currently having an issue with tapes that aren't staying in their assigned volume pools.

We have 4 weekly pools with 14 tapes in each. Each week it seems I have re-assign tapes to their pools from the scratch pool.

Does anyone know of a way to stop or lock them into the pools that they're assigned to?

Thanks for the help.

John
