[Veritas-bu] How do you use NBCC?

[Randy Samora]

I had heard rumors about the new version being easier for the end user
to read without having to send it in but as far as I know, sending it to
Symantec is the only option.  The NBCC utility tells them if there are
any discrepancies in your database like tapes that are assigned but
don't have any valid images on them or tapes that are expired but DO
have valid images on them.  You want to make sure there are no
discrepancies in your database before you upgrade.  Trying to fix them
afterwards is a nightmare.  But I have gone through 4 upgrades and tech
support has been very responsive in helping me flush out my databases.


Thanks,

Randy

I have an upgrade project coming up, going from 5.1 to 6.5   I have been
doing some research and  it was suggested that I run the utility NBCC
(consistency checker).

Downloaded and ran it on a test box, and I don't really get what it is
supposed to tell me.  Not only that, the last line in the output is to
"send the cab file to Symantec support for analysis."   Is there any
information on how I can parse what this utility is supposed to be
telling me, or is my only option to have Symantec look at it?

TIA,
