Hi.
When you add a tape, it will appear in the in the vmquery output, but not in
the bpmedialist command output.
It will appear in the bpmedialist command output when it has been used in a
succesfull backup.
The vmquery -deassignbyid command is VERY bad way to go. It will cause major
mismatches.
Regards,
Jim

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media id's not appearing in NB media database
Hi all,
I am having problems with some of my media id's not appearing in the "NB
media database". I have attempted bplabeling the tape again, and then
assigning it with vmquery -assignbyid. Alas it seems I am back where I
started and I can see the tape using vmquery, but I cannot see the tape
using bpmedialist, and thus can also not freeze and unfreeze the tape. I
also know the backups will fail on those tapes that I cannot see with the bp
commands.
I only have one standalone Veritas Netbackup server with the tape drives
attached to it. Consequently supplying the -h switch to bpmedialist with the
host name doesn't help either.
So I would love to know how I can get this media id added to the NB media
database?
