++ nvdevice / nvcheckdrive ++

Dear NetVault Users,


I upgraded to version 11.1. Since then I cannot longer use my script for checking the tape I set for the first job running. 


The following worked fine until the upgrade:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\NetVault Backup"\util\nvcheckdrive.exe -servername BACKUP01.GUDECO.DE -drivename LTO7

Now it is running into a:
"Target server is not a NetVault 7 server
Failed to get device tree from server 'BACKUP01.GUDECO.DE'."


Sure I can now use "nvdevice -check -drive LTO7". But this only works when the job running on the server where the LTO drive is connected to.
I don't want to change my order of jobs to get this running. Any Ideas?

Regards
Jens

  • Hi Jens,

    Based on what you mentioned about the "job running on the server where the LTO Drive is connected to", it sounds like the tape drive/Library may be on a NetVault Client or "SmartClient"?
    If this is this the case, then you may have to modify the script to run as the following:

    nvcheckdrive -servername "Use Client Name" -libraryname "Use Library Name" -drivename LTO7
    OR
    nvcheckdrive -servername "Use Client Name" -drivename LTO7


    Please let me know if this helps.
