Hello Everyone

OK, I think I have a better perspective on my restore problems.   Recently,
we've added a second media server complete with a ADIC Scalar 1000 tape library.
The server team loaded the media server with Solaris 2.7 and with Netbackup
3.2GA, the master server is also Netbackup 3.2GA from before I started here.
Backups to the new storage unit works fine.   Everytime I start a restore that
requires the new storage unit, the restore comes back with a status 25 some time
later.   The requested tape doesn't even get mounted.   On the new media server,
I get the following bpbrm logs rather early on whenever the restore request
becomes active:

   13:18:42 [27775] <4> bpbrm main: INITIATING: version NetBackup 3.2GA 99050812
   13:18:42 [27775] <2> logparams: -restore -mpx_restore -S barnes.enron.net -mt
   2 -to 0 -mud 180 -mediasvr iah-bk-02.enron.net
   13:18:42 [27775] <2> getsockconnected: host=iah-bk-02.enron.net service=bpcd
   address=10.128.42.151 protocol=tcp reserved port=13782
   13:18:42 [27775] <2> getsockconnected: Connect to iah-bk-02.enron.net on port

   13:18:43 [27775] <16> bpbrm process_start_restore_msg: unrecognized flag
   -job_total
   13:18:43 [27775] <4> bpbrm signal_media_manager: Sending SIGHUP to media
   manager 27777
   13:18:46 [27775] <4> bpbrm Exit: ERROR 20 sent to parent process

Now, I'm thinking that perhaps the master server had been patched at some point
in time in the past and the new media server has not been.   How do I check to
see what patches have been applied?   Somehow I don't think showrev -p will do
the trick for Netbackup.
