I have a similar situation. I have a tape that shows up in the media list in the gui, but I can't delete it or anything. I get the message that the volume is not in the NB database.

I have attempted bplabeling the tape again, and then assigning it with vmquery -assignbyid. Alas it seems I am back where I started and I can see the tape using vmquery, but I cannot see the tape using bpmedialist, and thus can also not freeze and unfreeze the tape. I also know the backups will fail on those tapes that I cannot see with the bp commands. I only have one standalone Veritas Netbackup server with the tape drives attached to it. Consequently supplying the -h switch to bpmedialist with the host name doesn't help either. So I would love to know how I can get this media id added to the NB media database? # /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmquery -m MPDY56 ======================================================================== ==== media ID: MPDY56 media type: DLT cartridge tape 2 (16) barcode: -------- description: Added by NetBackup volume pool: MISPD (6) robot type: NONE - Not Robotic (0) volume group: --- created: Mon Oct 31 22:08:37 2005 assigned: Mon Jan 23 14:26:10 2006 last mounted: Mon Jan 23 14:33:58 2006 first mount: Mon Oct 31 22:08:38 2005 expiration date: --- number of mounts: 3 max mounts allowed: --- status: 0x0 ======================================================================== ==== # /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpmedialist -ev MPDY56 requested media id was not found in NB media database and/or MM volume database Thanks, Robert _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
