So, I just tried out this command and it seemed to work great on the solaris
master server, however, when I use the admin console from my 2003
workstation I get some strangeness. 
 
>From the admin console, select Activity Monitor - then the drives tab at the
bottom.  There I see all the drives, however, the drive that was replaced
yesterday shows <Retrieving status...> under the Control heading.
 
DriveName    Type        Control                        Recorded Media ID
External Media ID    Ready . ... 
LTO-2        HCART       <Retrieving status...>
-
 
good drive:
LTO-1        HCART       TLD
No
 
Now the drive is working, and is getting used by the master server, my only
issue is this info in the admin console . . .
 
Thanks!

Rather than deleting the drive, try the "tpautoconf -replace_drive" option.
It'll fix the serial numbers in every media server automagically. 
 
This is a v5.X command.  It'd upgrade just for this abiltiy.

Hello,
 
everytime you change a tape, the new one comes with a new serial number.
Netbackup relies on these serial numbers.
Delete the drive and reconfigure SSO for this drive. This should help.
 
Best Regards

Betreff: [Veritas-bu] HP LTO2 Drives in an SSO environment



Has anyone had the following happen? 
Drive number x was replaced with a new drive.  The original device file was
c14t0d0.  After the new drive is installed the device file changes to
c18t8d0.  It doesn't happen every time a drive is replaced, but when it does
SSO gets real confused.

This is a HPUX 11.11 system.  A IBM 3584 library with HP LTO2 drives.
