It's ok, that wasnt the decomissioning I needed, as
that is done later!
I managed to find it, after removing an alias name and
then creating a new media server entry using nbemmcmd
so .. got a media server.... got a backup running of
fabric... looking good.
the fact I worked 18+ hours to resolve this, meant I
was really scratching my head. Came in a little refreshed and focus, and
resolved it in 20 mins!
bloody annoying when that happens!
S.
Use nbdecommission
CLI is recommended for decommissioning or migrating media servers.
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO43775&cat=MAN_PAGES&key=15143&actp=LIST#
It is available with 6.5.6 &
7.0.1, and as EEBs for previous few versions.

This tool is also useful to see
all the references (media, images, storage units, etc) to a media
server.

Try nbemmcmd
-listhosts -verbose I would
expect that you would see an entry for NODE03 with an alias or something
for HOME1. You can add/change existing entries, so I believe all you'll
need to do is remove HOME1 from NODE03 and then you can add it as a
comletely new san media server. You may want to just remove NODE03
altogether, assuming it's completely gone now. But make sure you clean
up NBU (stunits, devices, move any media to another server, etc.) before
you delete it from emm. If
you have media on home1, you would also need to move that. Basically,
you need to treat this as decommissioning a media server (home1) and
then when you add home1 back, you can move any media back to that server
if you wish. Rusty Major, MCSE, BCFP, VCS ▪ Sr. Storage

Re: [Veritas-bu] Server Not
seen in Device Config Wizard - Help
please :-( |
| Ive had to log a call with Symantec, but
its a real, real problem :-((
The original PHYSICAL SERVER was
NODE03. The Virtual Name was HOME1 nbemmcmd -listhosts shows NODE03 but it
does not show the new Media Server HOME1
Cant add it, as it believes it
exists. Because Media is obviously assigned to NODE03 and
possibly HOME1, I think this is causing the biggest
headaches!
Not even sure if I can change
NODE03 to become HOME1 or something?? Dont see anything that can help
! Simon

Server Not
seen in Device Config Wizard - Help please :-(
Hi Guys
I have migrated over to
new hardware, and went to install a new SAN Media Server, and although
the install is fine, no errors and services are started, I have a
problem...
When running Device Config Wizard,
my Server name is not appearing!
Originally my new SAN Media Server
(Home1) was part of a cluster. HOME1 was a virtual name. the Physical
was NODE03
When I logon to HOME1, and launch
the NetBackup Admin Console, and select the Server name I get this
message:
"The server SERVER1 is not a
NetBackup Master or Media Server. Please choose a different
server" But it is ... got the license installed as
well.
If I goto the master, type in
NBEMMCMD -listhosts it is not listed. But if I run the command.... I get
this result
nbemmcmd -addhost -machinename
HOME1 -machinetype media -masterserver NBUMaster -netbackupversion 6.5.6
-operatingsystem windows
NBEMMCMD,
Version:6.5.6 Host already exists in the EMM
database. Command did not complete successfully.
This used to be a VIRTUAL NAME
Server Entry for a Box that has died. A decision was taken to give the
NEW Server HOME1
I think this is part of the
problem, but I am unable to find a resolution to this !! Any
ideas???
Regards
Simon
