timing out after retiring a media server
Yes, there are docs out there on how to
retire a media server.
The big part you missed is that when a
media server does a backup it owns the media. So any restores are done by
that media server.
You either have to change ownership of the
tapes, or set up in your bp.conf to have another media server do any requests
for the old one.
(but with the new page for looking up docs
I cannot find it)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restores
timing out after retiring a media server
All:
Our
environment, HP-UX 11-31 currently running one master / media server on
NetBackup 6.5.2. We are running mostly unix / Linux backups and a couple
windows b/u’s thrown in for good measure.
We were
running with a master and a media server and have retired the media
server. I have changed all the policies to use the master as the media
server and am having no problems with backups. The problem is when I try
to restore something that was backed up when we had the separate media
server. For the Source Client in the restore gui, if I don’t point to the
old media server, I don’t see the files that I need to restore. If I
point to the old media server, I see everything I need but because the machine
is down, the restore times out.
Did I
miss something in the process of retiring the media server that is causing
this? Anyone have any ideas / suggestions?
Thanks in
advance….
