I had the same problem. It was caused by decommissioning a media server
without moving media assigned to that media server. You should run a
vmquery and verify that the tape is a valid volume in the media database.
If it is not, I would imagine that either the server name changed, or the
mediaDB was not recovered properly. If there are no time assigned values I
would definitely be worried and would recommend contacting Veritas Support.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media Assigned
Hi All
I need some info which does not seem to be in the manuals:
Netbackup : 3.4_3 on Solaris 8 master server. No media servers.
Our client lost their root disk. A new disk was installed and Netbackup was
recovered. Everything seems fine as all the drives, tapes, classes etc is
there as before. The problem is however the Time Assigned button under Media
and Device Management.
Questions:
1. Our client has classes with schedules that places a 2 year retention on
tapes. Should this fact not reflect under the time assigned column? From the
time this tape was assigned to a media server and there is data on the tape
that needs to be protected until the time this tape expires, this column
should reflect that this tape was assigned?
2. Where does this time assigned info come from or where and in which
catalog is the information kept? We checked the volDB and mediaDB and
nowhere did it indicate the assigned times.
3. Due to the fact that there are no info in the "time assigned" column,
should our client be worried that his tapes, that contain the images that
has to be kept for 2 years, can be overwritten?
4. We cannot do a robot inventory, as the master server communicates with
the robot via library station. Can this also contribute to the incorrect
info in the time assigned column?
