your little PS at the end is the key to the whole thing. yes, this is
causing it. looks like you may have a network issue or something with
this media server. fix this and the report will be accurate.
If the available_media report sees a tape is assigned, but can't get info
about it from any of the media server's MediaDBs, it marks it as DBBACKUP.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Tapes being assigned to 'DBBACKUP'
Hi all,
Something odd is going on. This weekend I found that some backups failed
due to media being unavailable. I checked where the media was assigned
using 'available_media' and found that three of my tapes was set to
'DBBACKUP' and not to full, active or available.
000084 DLT TLD 0 4 - - - DBBACKUP
000087 DLT TLD 0 11 - - - DBBACKUP
Here is my configuration. As you can see it should be manually initiated:
Sequence # 1 Last Media Used: (none!)
Written Allocated Type Density Media
------------------- ------------------- ---- ------- -----
1
2
Paths Included:
/usr/openv/netbackup/db
/usr/openv/volmgr/database
/usr/openv/var
Now here is the weird thing. When I run bpmedialist I get:
$ bpmedialist -ev 000084
Server Host = micha
id rl images allocated last updated density kbytes
restores
vimages expiration last read <------- STATUS
------->

0
5 12/14/2003 01:58 N/A FULL
The first thing I notice is that the tape is reporting to be full and
contains quite a lot of data... Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim.
PS: I occasionally get '$ bpmedialist -ev 000084
Could not obtain report from host micha, can't connect to client' - could
this be something to do with it?
