I tend to agree with you. Ever since they got rid of all the support
people after the merger, support has not been as good as it used to be
(I hope Symantec/Veritas is listening!).

Rusty, I already ran the utility and the output is ready..
I however would not recommend to myself to open a case until its my last
resort.. I dont have good experience with cases opened on veritas
support.

You need to use the Netbackup Catalog Consistency Utility (NBCC), found
here. It will run against all the databases and create reports. It
doesn't fix anything itself, but with this info and a case with Veritas,
you can get it fixed. Note, this only works on 4.5 - 5.1 environments.

I'm actually just about to start the utility on one of my environments
myself.

I have a script that reports on media inconsistencies, I know it works
under 4.5 and 5.1, not sure about 6.0 because we aren't there yet...

Hey all,

I have a mind boggling problem, I have a bunch of media which is the
following:

- when reports run on the pool, it is reported as protected for 1 year

- when i run bpexpdate on any media to expire it immediately, my system
reports that the media does not exist

- when i run media contents report of any of those media, i get a bunch
of backup IDs which do not show up in the "client backups" report

- when i run bpexpdate on the backup IDs themselves, i also get that no
backup ID exists with the ID i listed

- when i try to erase the media, NB says its assigned and cannot be
erased

What i am trying to do is delete these media and redefine them (as if
completely new) without changing their barcode IDs.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

NB: Is there a utility or something which will fix inconsistencies
inside the database ? maybe and export/import thing which will
automatically do a "cleanup" of old/invalid/inconsistent entries ?

Regards,

Wessam Aly
