How to perform Consistency Check on Netbackup 6.

x databases (EMM & BMRDB)

This check is similar to NBCC which was run to check the consistency of a 5.x Catalog, prior to upgrade
from NBU 5.x to NBU 6.5

Two methods exist for validating the consistency of the NetBackup EMM (Enterprise Media Manager) and
BMR (Bare Metal Restore) Databases. One is performed from a command line interface CLI and the
other by using the NetBackup database administration utility which is included in NetBackup 6.5.2 or later.

Note: Before performing a consistency check, stop all NetBackup Services on the EMM server.

The master and EMM servers are usually the same server.

Once all services have stopped, start only the ASA Service.

Windows:

6.x: D:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin>bpup -e ASANYs_VERITAS_NB

7.x: D:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin>bpup -e SQLANYs_VERITAS_NB

UNIX:

# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbdbms_start_stop start

Note: The EMM database name for windows is NBDB.DB, while for Unix it is NBDB.db

Method 1: CLI:

Windows:

D:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin>nbdb_admin.exe NBDB.DB -validate -full
