Thanks - The command line worked:   “bpplinfo Sql-WaterCom-New -set -residence atubks01_atldd03“

On checking the policy after running that it has the master’s storage unit at intended.   I’m still wondering why the GUI complained though.

 

On your other questions:

I’m not sure what a “refresh” would do - I pulled up the console and attempted to make the change so it should already have been “fresh” at the time I attempted it.

 

Doing through the Java GUI prior to trying the above command line resulted in the following:   Since I put the exact text of the error message in my original email I’m not sure what the screen shot will tell you.

did you refresh the policies in the console and tried. You can also change the storage unit from command line by "bpplinfo policyname -set -residence stuname" also if you can please paste the screenshot of the error that would be really helpful

NBU 6.5.4 HP-UX Unix master,  Windows 2000 client with SQL 2000 DB

 

Currently we are running a backup for the above environment using a separate Windows media server so have defined the storage unit as the one on that media server.   This is the only backup on that media server (and master) and we want to free up the media server and have the backup handled by the master (which is also a media server).  

 

On trying to modify the policy to change the storage unit from the one appropriate for the Windows media server to the one appropriate to the master (which are both the same physical dedupe appliance) we get the following error window popup:

 

An error occurred while changing policy ‘’Sql-WaterCom’, status:144

Unconfigured server group (Any) for –sg options specified

 

I found nothing at all on this error when searching for it.   Status 144 is a generic invalid options error so there is no detail on it.   The “Any” it is showing above so far as I can tell is the reference to the greyed out “Media Owner” area of the Policy attributes.  I also get the same errors on other Windows non-sql backups on trying to move them.  However, if I move one of my HP-UX jobs to the windows storage unit that works and it then lets me move it back without the error.   If I create a new policy with the same parameters as the original Windows 2000 SQL 2000 policy it lets me select the HP-UX storage unit.

 

Has anyone seen this and have any ideas as to how to resolve other than recreating the policies from scratch?   (Copying doesn’t work – the copy has the same issue as the original.)
