Problem

SLP Duplication jobs are failing with Status Code 190: found no images or media matching the selection criteria, "Status Code 190: found no images or media matching the selection criteria".

Error Message

In the admin log, bpduplicate reports an error:

<16> bpduplicate: INF - Skipping backup id <backup_id>; specified destination copy numbers are not available.

Cause

The copy for the backup image in SLP was already created however the copy state was not updated to COMPLETE.

Solution

  1. Review the Copy State for the failing image for the copy number that  is getting duplicated:
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbstlutil list -backupid <backup_id>  -U
    • Look for "Copy State" for copy number #. If it has an incomplete status, like NOT_STARTED or IN_PROCESS, then check the image Database for that copy.
  2. For each image that is having the issue, check in the catalog which copies are available.
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpimagelist -L -backupid <backup_id>
    • If copy # exists in the image DB, but nbstlutil reported that the status was incomplete, nbstserv will attempt to duplicate that image and it will fail with the status 190.
  3. Run a verify of the copy # to make sure its a good copy
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpverify -backupid <backup_id> -cn <copy_number>
    • Make sure verify of the image works, if not do not proceed to the next step.
  4. If there are only 2 copies in nstlutil list output, cancel these backup images from SLP using nbstlutil cancel command.
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbstlutil cancel -backupid <id_value>
    • This will mark the Storage Lifecycle State as COMPLETED and these images will not be selected for duplication job.
  5. If there are more than 2 copies, make sure to specify the copy number that is in the incomplete state, but has the image already duplicated. Cancel the SLP only for that copy by running.
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbstlutil cancel -backupid <id_value> -destination <name>
    • Destination name is the Residence field for that copy in nbstlutil list output.
