Hi
=20
We are in the process of implementing a brand new installation of
NetBackup 6.0 MP2 (Windows based) and I seem to be having problems with
some of the media.=20
=20
I have 5 tapes that report that they are in use even though they are
sitting quietly in slots the library. If I try and use bpexpdate or
vmchange/vmdelete I get a tape in use message:-
=20
C:\temp>bpexpdate -m 9014L3 -d 0 -force
requested media id is in use, cannot process request
=20
and
=20
C:\temp>vmdelete -m 9014L3
the media is allocated for use (199)
=20
=20
What does 'in use' actually mean? Does NB think that there are still
images on the tapes (there aren't) or does it think it is physically in
a drive somewhere?=20
=20
=20
Also if I try and do a 'bpmedialist -mcontents -m 9014L3 -L' the session
detail shows:-
=20
6/04/2006 11:25:28 a.m. - started process bptm (2144)
6/04/2006 11:25:27 a.m. - begin Media Contents
6/04/2006 11:25:28 a.m. - requesting resource 9014L3
6/04/2006 11:25:28 a.m. - awaiting resource 9014L3 Reason: Media is in
use., Media Server: N/A, Robot Number: 0, Robot Type: NONE, Media ID:
9014L3, Drive Name: N/A, Volume Pool: N/A, Storage Unit: N/A, Drive Scan
Host: N/A
=20
=20
NB appears to be automatically trying to expire the tape too as these
entries are in the log:-
=20
5/04/2006 2:09:02 p.m. ccobkp04  Error 0 Media Device Media Manager
error 97, rule does not exist in rule database, host =3D ccobkp04
5/04/2006 2:09:02 p.m. ccobkp04  Error 0 Media Device Media Manager
could not deassign media id 9014L3, retaining it in NetBackup database
5/04/2006 2:09:02 p.m. ccobkp04 bpexpdate Error 0 General Could not
deassign media-id 9014L3, host ccobkp04.ccity.biz: could not deassign
media due to Media Manager error (177)

=20
Is there any way of changing the status of the tapes?
=20
=20
=20
Regards
=20
Richard
