No, /usr/openv/netbackup/db/media directory.  Media is 'assigned' when a =
media server writes a backup to it and an entry is added to =
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/media/mediaDB (each media server has its own).
=20
Media list report (bpmedialist) extracts information from mediaDB.

Ahh thanks, by the way when you mean save the MediaDB, you are =
specifically talking about the:

/usr/openv/volmgr/database directory, where, after a media server =
upgrade one would replace the contents of the server before rebuild into =
that directory after a rebuild, right?=20

Thanks,

Justin.

Hi Justin
=20
You were supposed to save the media server's mediaDB and restore it =
after the rebuild.
=20
You will have to rebuild the mediaDB by doing a phase 1 import of tapes.

We have ran into a problem with the media. After the media server =
upgrades the tapes arent listed as assigned to the newly build media =
server.  Only tapes assigned are ones since the rebuild.

When you rebuild multiple media servers, are or aren't the tapes =
supposed to be "assigned" to the media server after an upgrade?=20

Thanks,

Justin.
