Powershell script to change tape media pools

[andrewfox68]

Hello

I have a Powershell script that runs each week that changes the Media Pool for the Tape jobs.

I have noticed that sometimes after the script runs the "Next Run" times changes to []

This doesn't always happen and I have checked everything through.

I now believe that I may have an answer...

If the tape job's Last Result was a Success then the "Next Run" time is not amended, however, if the tape job's Last Result was Failed then the script changes "Next Run" time to []

Is this a known issue?

Regards

Andrew

What product version are you using? Can you post your script here? Thanks.

Hello

We are using 9.5.0.1038

The script is:

Code: Select all

asnp "VeeamPSSnapIn" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Set-VBRBackupToTapeJob -Job "Backup to Tape 01" -FullBackupMediaPool "Weekly Media Pool ER-T50e-02-LTO7" -IncrementalBackupMediaPool "Weekly Media Pool ER-T50e-02-LTO7" -AlwaysCopyFromLatestFull
Set-VBRBackupToTapeJob -Job "Backup to Tape 02" -FullBackupMediaPool "Weekly Media Pool AW-T50e-02-LTO7" -IncrementalBackupMediaPool "Weekly Media Pool AW-T50e-02-LTO7" -AlwaysCopyFromLatestFull

Just to confirm that it happened again this week, a job failed last week and now has a Next Run time of 'After []'. The job that ran successfully has the correct Next Run time.

Thanks

What happens if you assign media pool to a variable first and then pass it to corresponding parameter, instead of referencing its name?

Code: Select all

$FullBackupMediaPool = Get-VBRTapeMediaPool -name "Weekly Media Pool ER-T50e-02-LTO7" 
Set-VBRBackupToTapeJob -Job "Backup to Tape 01" -FullBackupMediaPool $FullBackupMediaPool ...

Thanks.
