Re: [Veritas-bu] Restores timing out after retiring a media server

What process or procedure did you use?

It sounds like you may have to use bpmedia command and specify the media ID from the <retired_server> to your Master Server.

Take a look at this: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH52021

An extract from the document under Step 3:

If both <old_server> and <new_server> are at NetBackup 6.0MP7 or later, or NetBackup 6.5.2 or later, run the following command:

bpmedia -movedb -allvolumes -oldserver <old_server> -newserver <new_server>

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….
