The global database is out of sync between the master server and the
media servers. You need to delete the tape drives then re-configure the
tape drives. Use the command tpautoconf -show & tpconfig -d to re-map
the tape device configurations.
Good Luck

Subject: [Veritas-bu] renaming a media server

I recently had the tedious task of rebuilding the OS on our master 
server.   A faulty CPU managed to clean out a bunch of files from the 
root filesystem after a crash, and I figured this might be a good time 
to go to Solaris 9.  The NB catalog was safe, as were the binaries and 
configs, so I made a manual tape backup before I started the work.  
Reloading the OS changed the device entries for the tape drives and 
robot, so I had to re-work them back into the configuration.  It all 
works fine now except for when I refresh the Device Monitor (the screen 
on the java console that shows all the tape drives and robots), I get an

error with the Global Device Database trying to add devices it thinks 
belong to the secondary network interface on the master server.  The box

has two gig NIC's, and connects to two subnets.

Where is the config file that defines which hosts are master and media 
servers?
Or which vm command allows me to edit this setting.

I have not yet found a tech document on veritas' site that explains what

I'm trying to do.
