Summary:
I didn't really do an "upgrade," I loaded up a new system on a
separate set of hard drives and copied files forward. Problem was I
didn't bring ~netbackup/db/media/mediaDB forward.
I've been running on 3.4 for a couple weeks, so I have "other" tapes
no matter which media database I use. I've opted to bring my 3.2
media database forward and import the tapes that I've used since the
cut.
So far so good. I need to do vmquery -deassignbyid on these tapes to
make media manager forget about the tape being assigned (else the
import fails). Then I run bpimport -create_db_info to scan the tape
and resynchronize everything.
Thanks to the respondents to my question.
