Querying the ADIC/GRAU DAS Server

If you want to get information about a repository in the GRAU DAS library from the Server, you can query the DAS Server. A query responds with the contents of the media database of the DAS Server, and then synchronizes the information in the IDB with what is actually in the repository.

This is especially useful if you were using GRAU DAS commands to manage media, as this results in inconsistencies with the IDB - Data Protector does not know the latest status of media in the library repository. Proceed as follows:

1.In the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Manager, switch to the Devices & Media context.

2.In the list of configured devices, right-click the library you want to query, then click Query.

See online Help for further information.

This action queries the DAS Server for information.

Verifying Media

Use this function to verify media in a media pool. By reading all media blocks and parsing all the headers, then parsing all Media Agent blocks and checking records in each block, Data Protector determines whether the data on the media is valid. If the CRC option was set during backup, Data Protector recalculates the CRC and compares the values.

You can only verify resident Data Protector media.

1.In the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Manager, switch to the Devices & Media context.

2.In the Scoping Pane, click Devices. The list of configured devices will display in the Results Area.

3.In the list of configured devices, click the name of the library, then expand it to display the Drives and Slots items.

4.Click Slots to display the list of slots in the Results Area.

5.Select a range of slots to verify.
