If you believe that the disk is too full that should be more than normally.(I had this problem on 3 netbackup 5220 appliance that version 2.5.2 and 2 windows media server that version 7.5.0.5, I found and deleted them,then 50TB space was freed from dedup disks of three apliances.) We need a bpimmedia list from the master server, and catalog lists from the deduplication media servers to compare and find out if there are orphaned images. Follow the steps below:
1) Identify the disk pool name and then collect NetBackup Image list from the Master Server:
Hi,
You can see puredisks names with “Netbackup Administration Console”, under “Media and Device Management” -> “Devices” -> “Disk Pools”
or you can use nbdevquery -listdp -l
command

Hi there,I check your blog named “How to find orphaned images on disk for netbackup? ( dedup disk or advanced disk full problem ) – System Articles” daily.Your style is awesome, keep doing what you’re doing!
Wonderful blog you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any
discussion boards that cover the same topics talked about here?
I’d really like to be a part of online community where I can get advice from other knowledgeable people that
share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Cheers!
I have run the command :
○ /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/dedupecatutil –FORCE_DEDUPE_METADATA_CONSISTENCY –dry_run
Ihave identify and check with the catalog and backlog the OrpahnImage, but the backupid i have of the Orphan Image is unknow by the system, for example :
When i run this command :
○ nbstlutil –cancel backupid
=> result : “No entity was found”
Hi.
We have images in the catalog on the storage which are not in the image catalog on the master server. I’m not sure if this is OK, but the storage get ful and the cleaning not work as should,

We deleted the orphaned images but space is not being reclaimed? How do we get the space back? The processqueue always is at busy status.
it is take a some time, you can see free space day by day, and may be complete in 1 week.
Did you have free space now?
bpimmedia command does not exist (anymore)
