Question 32

Refer to the exhibit.

A backup job configured with a retention level of 2 and Policy volume pool set to the server_tapes is failing due to status code 96: Unable to allocate new

. See the output of the available_media command below:

media for backup

Which task in the NetBackup Administration Console should the administrator perform to resolve the status code 96 error?

    Correct Answer: C

    The backup job is configured with a retention level of 2, and it uses the 'server_tapes' volume pool. From the output of the available_media command, it can be seen that tapes in the 'server_tapes' pool are either in 'ACTIVE' status, 'FULL', or 'FROZEN'. Specifically, E02004 is marked as 'FULL/FROZEN', which means it cannot be used for new allocations. Unfreezing E02004 in the 'server_tapes' volume pool could make it available for use with the required retention level, resolving the status code 96 error which indicates that there are no available resources in the specified volume pool.

I think answer D is correct. the frozen tape is not empty. the tape E02003 is available, but not in the right volume pool, neither the scratch pool.
