This could be that you're trying to use a tape with a data label for a
catalog backup - a "no-no" for NB.  
 
The vmquery command can show you a "status" byte.  Status=0 is for data,
while status=1 is for catalog.  Try "vmquery -m 000099" to check.  
 
If you're using a data tape for this, you could try relabeling the tape
using the "bplabel" command.

Howdy,

 

I'm new to Veritas Netbackup, but I have installed in and

everything has been working fine for about a month now.

 

However, I started getting a failure when the catalog attempts

to backup. Has anyone seen this:

 

Version: 4.5GA

 

media manager - system error occurred(174)

 

When I look at the media manager logs, I see:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------

10:04:25.631 [1455] <2> vmdb_query_byID_getpool: server returned:  1 21 

NetBackup ANYHOST -1 -2 the NetBackup pool

 

10:04:25.633 [1455] <16> load_media: NB database backup 

media id 000099 is not assigned in Media Manager volume database 

or is not assigned as an NB database backup media

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------

 

I have done an inventory of our StorageTek  and media id 000099 shows up

just fine in the library.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks...James

 

 

James Wade
