The change ... delete command removes references to a backup piece, =

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup expiry of rman backups =
with infinite retention period
Hi,
I have recently set-up some Oracle rman backups with Netbackup 4.5 on =
Solaris.
The retention period in the policy is set to infinite for both the =
automatic and application backup schedules. I wanted to check that =
Netbackup would clean up the backups when I obsolete them in rman. But =
having done the obsolete in rman I have found that Netbackup has not =
removed the backup images from the tapes, even though they are gone from =
the rman catalog. I tried running "bpimage -cleanup -client <name>" but =
the bpdbm log showed that nothing was removed.
There was an oddity with the Netbackup configuration on the client, when =
the original backup was made, the bp.conf contained the wrong client =
name. Could this be causing a problem, now that the client name has been =
changed?
Am I on the wrong track here? According to the manual when rman deletes =
a backup-piece Netbackup should get rid of it regardless of the =
retention period. Does anyone know of a way I can sort this out, so that =
when rman deletes the backup, Netbackup does as well?
Thanks
Pete
