Some free tapes are not used by backup job - dpm 2012 r2

Hi,
I have DPM 2012 R2 with IBM TotalStorage 3572 tape library. It is 8 slot tape library. All was working with initial 8 tapes I added to tape library. I had one Protection group to be archived on 8 tapes. I was doing Daily and weekly backups. Every 2nd week
I would do a weekly backup and keep it for 2 weeks i.e. I need 2 tapes for weekly backups. All was working ok until I introduced two new weekly tapes as a replacement for 2 weekly tapes in library. Because of disaster recovery procedure - I have to take
weekly tapes out of library and store them in disaster recovery location for some time. So I pulled out 2 weekly tapes and added 2 new tapes. New tapes were marked free and they are showing as Free tapes.
Now - the trouble is that these 2 free tapes are not used by backup job and instead - backup job writes weekly backup on any of the available Daily tapes (like from 4-5 days ago) instead of using one of the Free tapes that are available.
I'd like the backup job (Protection group) to use Free tapes first and only if there are no available free tapes - to go and do backup on Daily tape or ask for a free tape.
I am probably doing something wrong here - so I would really appriciate if anyone can help me with this? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Damir.

Hi,
What update rollup are you running on the DPM 2012 R2 server ?  DPM 2012 R2 UR5 introduced a new refresh feature that will re-enumerate data sources on an individual protected server.
Check for VSS errors inside the guests that are having problems being backed up.

  • Some Crystal Reports are not using the Cache Server

    Hi...we are currently running BOE XI R2 SP2.  I setup a server group with a Cache Server and a Page Server.  In the CMC, I set this cache server to keep reports cached for 15 minutes.  On the Process tab of some reports, I specifically set the report to use this new server group.  On some of the reports this works as expected.  For others, it does not appear to be since the cache folder's Date Modified date does not change.  So far the only similarity between the reports that do not use cache is that these reports have sub-reports.  Has anyone experienced this before?  If so, how did you resolve it? 
    Thanks!

    Hi Rich,

  • Does windows and mac run continuously using parallel, or is there some way to stop xp from running if you are not using it?

    I would like to run a few windows programs but I dont want the mac side to suffer when i am not using the windows os.  Is there some way to shutdown the windows part when you are not using?

    If you are running MS Windows in Parallels or Fusion or any other virtualization  software  you can shut it down while the machine is operating and still run OS X. There is no trick, you shut down MS Windows just like you would with any other MS Windows machine. That is one of the main advantages of virtualizaiton software, the ability to run both environments simultaneously if you want. If you don't want to run Windows then simply don't start the virtualizaiton software or if it's already running quit it like you do any app on a Mac.

  • Free goods are not copying in credit memo from invoice

    Dear Gurus,
    I have made a invoice having two line items 1.normal goods with sale price and 2.free sample goods(part of promotional scheme) without any sale price.
    but while making credit memo for receiving goods back in cancellation of invoice , i am facing problem for free goods. system is not copying the free goods in credit memo and copying only normal goods.
    what can be problem for not copying? whether i am following some wrong procedure or some configuration is missing.
    please advise me with your valuable suggestions.
    Thanks in advance
    Parag

    hello, friend.
    first of all, the free goods are not relevant for credit memo since the customers never paid for these in the first place.
    however, i observed that after cancelling the invoice, you still issued a credit memo?  this may not be the proper process.  when you cancel the invoice, entries into the customers Accounts Receivables are reversed as well (we are assuming no payments are posted yet).  so there is no need to issue credit memos. 
    if you are referring to another process, please clarify the same.
    regards.

  • Some Sales Orders are not replicating into CRM

    Hi guys,
    when I check SMQ2 in CRM,  I find that some sales orders are not replicating into CRM, then check the error, its says check SMW01..
    when I check the SMW01 it says validation error and BDOC status is F05 (information no processing). I tried to search the sales order in CRMD_Order transaction could not find the sales order...
    *Error in SMW01*
         Processing of document with Guid E01D11C71856C4F1AEBF0024E84DD0CE is canceled     CRM_ORDER
         Validation error occurred: Module CRM_DOWNLOAD_BTMBDOC_VAL, BDoc type BUS_TRANS_MSG.     SMW3
    It's not giving much clue what's the error is...
    I tried to setup a request to replicate those sales orders.. those request also end up in the same error...
    any help on this?
    thanks,
    Ken

    Hello Ken,
    When reprocessing a BDoc(via SMW01) you might need to set a flag.
    Goto trxn. SMW01. Start the debugger using command '/h' and reprocess the BDoc. After going into the debug mode press SHIFT+F7 and put a breakpoint at 2nd Tab in : class:cl_smw_flow and method 'restart_processing'. Keep debugging(F5 or F6 accordingly) until you find the requisite flag l_retry_allowed and set it as 'X'. This will allow you to reprocess the Bdoc.
    Thanks,
    Rohit

  • Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

    Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

    If you made backups of all of your photos and your catalog file using some third-party method (i.e. not using the PSE catalog backup command), then you should be able to restore everything.
    Step 1. Put the photos in the EXACT SAME LOCATION as before. For example, if they were in subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents, then they must go into the exact same subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents.
    Step 2. Move the catalog file to wherever you want it to be, and then double-click on it.

  • Some employees designations are not matching  with their actual designation

    Hi All,
    While downloading to excel sheet some employees designations are not matching  with their actual designations maintained in infotye 0001.
    Designations should match with infotype 0001.
    How to rectifty this issue.
    Let me know...
    Regards,
    Sita

    Hi
    Looks like you are dowloading the value from a field which does not contain the value you see in the infotype screen
    In infotypr 0001 place your cursor in the designation field.
    Press F1
    See the name of the field & the table.
    Have a look at the table using se16 and confirm what you see in the field is what you see in the infotype screen.
    If it is same see in your code if you are using correct field.
    If it is not the same trace in which table and field the value is stored and code your program to download from there.
    Check in Tables HRP1000 and PA0001 and you should get your values

    Hi all ,
    We found the solution for this issue .
    We have installed the crypto library in global executable directory and any way it will replicate those binaries to individual application servers.
    But the parameters are still looking for global executable directory for loading crypto library during time.
    So all application servers are trying to load crypto library files from global "exe" instead of local directory, which was clustered .Sometimes during  heavy network load it may cause some delays to load the libraries to individual application servers and in turn is causing the license key issues.
    Note 982056 - The license key library has not been initialized yet..
    SAP Recommend option for all SSF parameters should be instance profile parameters not in default parameters..This was mentioned in below note:
    Note 662340 - SSF Encryption Using the SAPCryptolib --- .
    But in our Environment SSF and SEC parameter were set in DEFAULT profile instead Instance profile.
    Recommendations:
    o     ssf/ssfapi_lib  = <Path and file name of SAPCRYPTOLIB>
    o     sec/libsapsecu  = <Path and file name of SAPCRYPTOLIB>
    This was mentioned in the below SAP HELP.

  • To transfer the data Cross the systems why we are not using BAPI Method?

    Hello All,
    To transfer the data Cross the systems why we are not using BAPI Method? why we are using only ALE/IDoc's?

    Hi Naveen,
       Listing down those I know -
       1. Master data is expected to be changed/created less frequestly.
       2. Transactional data is expected to be chnaged/created more frequestly.
       3. Transactions to create/change/display master data do no have message control integration, since you are not supposed to print/fax/mail master data to your partners.
       4. Distribution of master data in generally supposed to happen within Enterprise boundry and typically you will have one central server maintaining master data which will be distributed to multiple downstream operation system (Some thing where MDM fits). So ideally when distributing master data using ALE you will be sending it to multiple systems.
       5. Distributing transactional data PO/SO etc is same as sending fax/print which fits with the requirement of message control.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards,

  • Diapresentation: some photo's are not there

    I use Iphoto 7.1.5. I have a problem with the "diavoorstelling"/ slideshow. Some photo's are not displayed. I checked them but I donot see any difference between the photos that are displayed during the slideshow and the photos that are not. All photos are in the same map and have the same characteristics.
    I tried to rebuild , using alt+ cmd , but it doesnot help: als photos are in Iphoto, but only some of them are used in a slideshow of an album that i chosse.
    Is it possible that the use of PICASA gives these problems?

    When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported).
    How exacly are you trying to import from the Photo Stream? Dragging from the stream to the events? Ctrl-clicking or right clicking?
    If "Show in Library" does not show the event, then your iPhoto Library may need repairing or rebuilding;  try to run the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools, if you have not already done so. See this post by Old Toad on how to do it:    Rebuild iPhoto Library Version 11:

  • List users of specific databases that are not using the default storage quotas

    I have an Exchange 2010 SP3 DAG with 4 databases. I am trying to use powershell to find out, per database, which mailboxes are
    not using the "mailbox database defaults", which is unlimited in this case (no quotas for Issue warning, Prohibit send, and Prohibit send and receive).
    Something like "get-mailbox | where  {$_.UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults -ne $true} will not work because I just want the data for specific databases".
    I have also tried "get-mailbox -database nameofdatabase | where {$_.UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults -ne $true} | out-file c:\temp\nameofdatabase.tx" but it lists some users that show unlimited for all categories and others some that have limits on certain
    other ones. In short, it is not correct.
    HDL

    Hi,
    From your description, I would like to clarify the following thing:
    Running the Get-Mailbox -Database MBX1 | Where-Object {$_.usedatabasequotadefaults -eq $false} cmdlet will list all mailboxes who have a custom storage quota. But it only displays the value of ProhibitSendQuota. You can check the values of other storage
    quotas via EMC.
    EMC -> Recipient Configuration -> Mailbox -> double click the mailbox -> Mailbox Settings -> Storage Quotas
    Hope my clarification can be helpful to you.
