Hi,
I have been doing some scripts to offsite tape volumes, based
on the saveset time.
I have a query that looks more or less like the following:
/usr/sbin/mminfo -o t -q "pool=Monthly, savetime>=182 days ago, location=L700"
-r volume | sort -u
Now I have used a Relative savetime of "26 weeks ago", "6 months ago" and so on.
They all more or less report the same list of vols for (which is good),
but in fact, the list is reporting volumes that are less than 6 months old!
I am even getting a list of vols that are only a couple of weeks old.
Now if I transpose the ">" (Greater Than) symbol, to "<" (Less Than),
I get a lot closer to the list of vols required.
So, after getting another person to examine the above query and
checking I haven't got dyslexic with my "<" or ">" symbols,
we have come to the conclusion that there is a problem with mminfo.
In fact we found this bug in the Sun branded version 6.1.4, supposedly
fixed with:
Patch-ID# 111962-10
Keywords: solstice backup sbu 6.1 6.1.4 networker security "security" bug ids
Synopsis: Solstice Backup 6.1: Product Patch
Date: Jan/06/2004
4634447 LGTpa27516 mminfo commmand with query on savetime doesn't
function correctly.
Which makes me think that the version we are using now 7.2.1 is still
suffering the same bug.
Now, before I log a case with Legato, can someone please confirm
that they can see the same problem, doing a similar query as above?
We are using Legato 7.2.1 build 311 (not OEM) on Solaris 5.9.
If there is a workaround, or if I am using the mminfo command
improperly, I would like to know that as well!
Thanks....
