suspect (read error)

Hi,

I have used below mminfo command to Query NetWorker media database.

mminfo -xc, -s "abc.domain.tld" -r "client,name,ssid,volume,totalsize,sscreate(17),sscomp(17),sumflags,group,level" -q "level=Full" -t '2 days ago'

In output I found below record:

Server name  Client name  /vol/  1915856850  Pool01.003   16732387332  10/29/2015 0:00  10/29/2015 0:09   cbNs  Group1 full

This record was showing cbNs flag.

Then I googled for the mminfo flags in networker and I got article “Meaning of saveset flags in the mminfo output”

[https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-24741].

As per this article meaning of each letter in flag cbNs is as follows -

c: Complete (the entire saveset resides on this tape volume)

b:  Browsable

N: NDMP generated

s: suspect (read error)

This particular save sets has been backed up and cloned successfully. But I am bit confused with its clone's clflags summary flag “s” , as it says “suspect (read error)”; but save set is cloned successfully,

Can someone please enlighten me on with this s flag? or why NDMP save sets are marked as Suspected

Hi,

If you are talking about cbNs,please read below details.

cbN:

c Complete

b Browsable

N NDMP generated

cbNs:

c Complete

b Browsable

N NDMP generated

s NDMP-DSA

Query the media database to determine which save sets are NDMP save sets and the status of an NDMP save set in the media database. NDMP save set status information is

important when performing NDMP recoveries.

  • To perform a browseable NDMP recover, the ssflags (fl) field for an NDMP save set must contain a (b). The b value denotes a brows able save set.

  • To perform a save set recover from the NetWorker User program, the ssflags (fl) field for an NDMP save set must contain either (r) or (b).

  • An NDMP save set contains an N attribute in the ssflags (fl) field.

  • An NDMP-DSA save set contains an s attribute in the ssflags (fl) field.

In the following example, the NDMP save set status is recoverable (r). To recover the data, you can only perform a save set recovery from a command line.

In the following example, the NDMP-DSA save set status is brows able (b). Recover the data by using the NetWorker User program, or from the command line. A browseable

NDMP-DSA save set supports brows able and save set recoveries.

To verify whether a save set is really suspect you can of course also use mminfo and query for 'suspect' save sets:

   mminfo -q "suspect, ...." -r "....."
