Media Database InconsistenciesBill
the volume database lists the tapes it knows about - assigned or unassigned.
so if the tape is in the library, it needs to be in the voldb.
the media db ( and the medialist report ) is those media assigned to media
servers with valid unexpired images on them.
so, this is normal.
check the media logs from the reports menu to ensure that there aren't any
errors / failures to deassign/assign media.

mark

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media Database Inconsistencies
I'm new to this list and new to using NBU, so forgive me if this is a dumb
question.
In viewing the Reports | MediaList, many media that should be on the list
are missing. They can be viewed in the VolMgr database via VMQUERY -m <ID>.
The VolMgr data seems to be correct. Medialist shows some 250 media and
there should be more like 450. Medialist doesn't even include all the media
that are presently in the library.
Why does this happen, and how can I correct the inconsistencies & prevent
recurrence?
System info:
NBU DataCenter 4.5 FP6.
Win2k Adv. Svr. SP4
Dell PowerVault 136T.
1/2" HCART 100/200GB.
Thanks,
Bill
