Hi,

Problem in short: I am having problems including all of my schedules in BPVault
sessions. One schedule (Fulls) goes ok and vaults, but not the others (Incr,
CIncr or User).

We have 2 media hosts and one master server. The media hosts are getback and
flashback. The master is servback. Everything is Sun or StorageTek equipment.
Using Diff SCSI with a couple of E3500's and RAID arrays for disk space. We are
using NetBackup DataCenter 3.4.

We have two L180's. Each one is connected through one of the machiens, either
getback (stu name: L180) or flashback (stu name: FL180). One L180 (on getback)
is for Fulls only. The other L180 (on flashback) is for Incrementals only.

servback has a robot attached that is not in use right now (stu name L3500).
But, being the master server, I vault from there.

We have barcodes and barcode rules:
F00 is for Fulls and is in one of the L180's (stu L180 on getback)
I00 is for Incrs and is on FL180 on flashback.
C00 is for clones/duplicates so go to the Duplicates pool.

We clone in the stu L180 (getback).

Anyway, so I have added

server servback 2 ALTREADHOST getback flashback

to my dup_param file.

What I notice is that now things hang. I do an vmoprcmd -h flashback and see:

I saw the reverse on vmoprcmd -h getback. It basically shows mount requests on
the wrong system. Is that due to how I put the altnames in the server line?

Anyway, now things appear completely opposite. All I00 requests go to getback
and F00 requests go to flashback. That is reverse.


Anyone with any ideas? What is the proper way using vault to set up the
dup_param file for multiple stu's such as is my environment. This does not
appear to be covered in the docs for BP Vault.


Thanks in advance.


Chris
