Re: [Veritas-bu] error 41

From your messate, it is not clear if this error is coming from client backups, It can be caused by a network issue. Be sure that your NIC settings match the switch.
If Gig E best to go autoneg all the way. If 100MB set both to 100FDX no Auto Negotiate.

Subject	[Veritas-bu] error 41

We have encountered error 41 when we changed a NW cluster. The new cluster is configured as the old but a error 41 is making my life a dark place.
We have a master and 3 media servers and backing it up to LTO3 tape drivers located in a SL8500.
Please advice.

Ämne: Re: [Veritas-bu] Reclaiming tapes to the scratch volume pool

Hi
You will also see this when you have decommissioned a media server. Tapes belonging to the media server don't tend to be returned to the SCRATCH pool. This when you get a lot of tapes with DBBACKUP status when you run available_media. The available_media script when it doesn't know what to do with a tape gives it a DBBACKUP status.

This should fix that and other similar stuff.
1. First generate a list of suspect tapes. First column is the mediaIDs.
2. Run this script - it checks to see if their a images on each media and spews out a very simple output. Patience is required it may take a will to run
------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/ksh
# Author Jim McDonald , Sydney Aust
# usage : script name followed by a file that has one column with media IDs to check
# output goes to /tmp/med-in-images and genrates rows of
# media_id FRAG client_name
# media_id IMAG client_name
# media_id no entity was found
# sorted by media_id
# "no entity was found" = no images on that tape
TMP_FILE=/tmp/med-in-images
> $TMP_FILE
let CNT=0
for MED in $(cat $1 | awk '{ print $1 }'); do
let CNT=CNT+1
echo $CNT , $MED # let you know its doing some work
bpimmedia -mediaid $MED 2>&1 | nawk -v media=$MED '
$1 == "FRAG" { printf "%s FRAG %s \n",media,$10}
$1 == "IMAG" { printf "%s IMAG %s \n",media,$2}
/found/ { printf "%s %s\n",media,$0}
' >> $TMP_FILE
done
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. You now have a file that list what is on media, incuded those that have nothing.
4. Create a list of files that you want to fix, Run
grep "no entity was found" /tmp/med-in-images > to_deassign
5. Run this script to
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/ksh
# Author Jim McDonald , Sydney Aust
# this generates lines like :
# vmquery -deassignbyid AZ0070 3
# input : a file with one column of media IDs
METHOD="vmquery -deassignbyid"
for MEDIA in $(cat $1 | awk '{ print $1 }'); do
vmquery -m $MEDIA 2>&1 | sed s/0x//g | tr -d ")" | tr -d "(" | \
nawk -v how="$METHOD" ' /media ID:/ { printf"\n%s %s ",how,$3}
/volume pool:/ { printf"%s ",$4}
/status:/ { printf"%s",$2 } '
done
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
METHOD can be edited to include sudo if required

This generates outout for each media.....eg
vmquery -deassignbyid Z00471 38 0
vmquery -deassignbyid CV1700 1 1
vmquery -deassignbyid CV1905 1 1
vmquery -deassignbyid CV0901 25 0

from their it simple to deassign all the media i.e your SCRATCH pool should automagically grow
