Re: [Veritas-bu] Media server move, now getting 219 errors

Well the move finally completed. I was able to run an inventory and now it shows all my media pointing to the correct server. The correct devices and robot are all showing up in the “Devices” window under the correct server. I ran robtest and it found the robot and all drives with the correct addresses. I’ve pointed my policies to the correct server. I’m still getting the 219 errors when I try to run a backup. I’ve looked over my changes and can’t find anything that looks wrong. I’ve got to have missed something but can’t find it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Yea, I caught that also and made the change for the policy I was testing, sorry for not passing that along. I think I may be getting antsy and like you said the move is taking forever. Does the move have to happen on all the tapes in the library before I’ll be able to run an inventory?

Thanks

In my experience, the move could take a looong time.

However, one thing that I don't see you have done is to specify the new media server in your backup policies. If they're still pointing at the old one, they will generate 219's.

Our environment is Netbackup 5.1 MP3 HP-UX 11.31 (11i v3). I just removed our media server and am using the master as the media server. I ran a script that did bpmedialist and bpmedia –movedb commands to move my media from the media server to the master server. I have changed my bp.conf and vm.conf files so they no longer have anything from the old media server. I used tpconfig to remove the robot and drives from the old media server. Connected the drives to the master server and can see them via an ioscan. I used the NBU gui to add the robot and drives to the master server. I can see everything on the master server but when I kick off a job I'm getting "EXIT STATUS: 219 - the required storage unit is unavailable" . I tried to run an inventory and am getting "robot number and robot host mismatch". I found a document that says to select all the tapes in the library, click on Actions -> Move and uncheck the Volume is in a robotic library box and click OK. There are about 300 tapes in the library, I did this and it's been sitting there for quite a while.

1. Did you delete the old storage unit?
2. Did you restart NetBackup after removing the storage unit?
