• mv db db.org
• ln -s /catalog/netbackup/db
• cd /usr/openv
• mv kms kms.org
• ln -s /catalog/kms

Split the TrueCopy catalog (check the status first if its up to date) on bkmedia4

/HORCM/scripts/veritas-tc-pairdisplay.ksh
Group   PairVol L/R   Port# TID  LU  Seq# LDEV# P/S Status Fence    % P-LDEV# M

Split TrueCopy

• /HORCM/scripts/veritas-tc-pairsplit.ksh

Re-start NetBackup with the new catalog

• /etc/init.d/netbackup start

Make sure to stop NetBackup before the re-sync

• /etc/init.d/netbackup stop

Once done re-pair the TrueCopy

• /HORCM/scripts/veritas-tc-pairresync.ksh
• pairevtwait : Wait status done.

Make sure it synced again

How to Restore Tapes from the DR Media Server

first you must physically load the tapes into the new library and update the inventory using the netbackup client or by running:

vmupdate -rt tld -rn 3 -rh bkmedia4 -use_barcode_rules -empty_map

when you load tapes from one media server into a library belonging to another media server you must update the media owner in the NetBackup Catalog
to move one tape:

bpmedia -movedb -ev media_ID -oldserver  -newserver 

to move of the tapes from one media server to another you can use:

bpmedia -movedb -allvolumes -oldserver  -newserver
