Hi,
Is there a way to change the location that NetWorker reports for a
volume to empty or null; in other words
what ever it would report if the tape was no longer in the library?
We're running 7.2.2 on Solaris using a Linux storage node (7.2.2). We
have a bunch of tapes that are still listed in one of our tape
libraries, but they're no longer physically in that library. Most are on
shelf and some are off site. The reason this happened is because we had
an old 6.x server, and
then we set up a new 7.x server on a new box (same host name). When we
transferred everything (indexes, media database, etc.), the status quo
was fine. Later, we temporarily shut down the new server and brought up
the old server and removed most of the tapes from that library, so the
old server is in sync. Only 4 of those tapes are still in there. Then we
shut the old server down and brought the new server back up.
The new server sees the 4 tapes correctly and sees that all the other
slots are empty which is correct, but the volumes listing still reports
those
other volumes as being located in that library.
Other than reloading all those tapes, inventorying them, removing them
and then re-inventorying the slots, is there any way around this situation?
In some cases, I have some tapes off site that would be a pain to re-load.
Thanks.
George
