Mary:

AVAILABLE media as described by the available_media 
script in the goodies directory indicate that the media 
is not assigned, therefore it is 'AVAILABLE' for use by 
NetBackup.  The error message you are receiving 
'requested media id was not found in NB media database 
and/or MM volume database' is normal when running the 
bpmedialist command from the command line on an 
unassigned piece of media or a non-existent piece of 
media.

./bpmedialist -ev ZZZZZZ (if mediaid ZZZZZZ is not 
currently assigned or doesn't exist at all in your 
database, you will get that error message)

Media Manager is where you want to look to see if in 
fact you have media assinged to the correct volume pool.

What you did in copying the NBU class shouldn't have 
any affect on your media.

I hope this helps.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] media id not found in NB media 
database and MM
volume database


I have a situation that after I created a new class by 
copying from one class to this new one and new class 
uses an existing pool, then all the tapes owned by both 
classes that were in "AVAILABLE" state before this 
creation became "not to be found in NB media database 
and MM volume database".  However, I don't have problem 
viewing them from media manager.  I just can't reverse 
them to be AVAILABLE tapes for backup.

We are using netbackup 3.1.1 running Sun Solaris 2.6.

Could there be anyone help on this urgent need?  Any 
help would be greatly appreciated.

Mary.
