I had this was 5.1 and found that the inventory DB did not
realise there were tapes in scratch.
So following this should work - or at least try it
:-)

Hi
David,
I’ve
seen similar problems in NBU 5.1, what I usually do is mark all tapes in scratch
pool and delete them, then do a new inventory of library and place “new” tapes
in scratch pool.
My
experience is that for some reason tapes that have expired but is not located in
the library due to offsite storage or something like that shows as available
tape in scratch but no tapes are available.
It’s
a quick test J
Regards
Kenneth

[Veritas-bu] Problem with allocating media on Netbackup
4.5
Hello,
since yesterday, I have a major problem with backing up on
Netbackup 4.5 This morning, all the backups failed with error code 96,
although there was scratch tapes available for backups. I can notice that
:
- scratch tapes have been assigned to the requested pool automatically
when the backup started - backup failed immediately with error code 96 -
no entity found on the assigned tape - if I try to change pool manually from
scratch pool to "Full_I" pool (needed for a host backup regarding the schedule
policy), the same problem occurs : tape assigned in the right pool, but
backup fails.
As we are running out of spare tapes, we have decided to
reuse tapes that haven't reached their retention level yet, but will soon. To
do so, I ran the following :
bpimmedia -L -mediaid
<media_id> -> to check images on tape : no entity was
found
vmquery -deassignbyid <media_id> <source_pool>
0
When I run a bpmedialist -summary | grep <media_id>, I get an
expiration date that will occure in 1 week When I run a bpexpdate -m
<media_id> -d 0, I get the following : requested media id was not found in
NB media database and/or MM volume database
Do you think I have a Media
manager or media database corruption ?
Thank you
David
