I have a similar question...I think
I have retired three media servers, well actually rebuilt two with new
names and new IP and renamed the third...(All Windows 2003 NBU 6.0 MP4)
I know NBU does not like renaming...and no like a dope I did not follow
the retire media server documentation. Lesson learned for anyone out
there that is looking to rename a box. Follow the white paper on
retiring a media server.
Anyway to my question...I still have my old media servers listed under
hosts, they are all deactivated but I cannot get rid of them. I believe
it is due to the fact that I still have tapes assigned to those media
servers. Anyone out there and an idea on how I can get those tapes
re-assigned to the new media servers. The "bpmedia -movedb -m <media
ID> -oldserver <oldserver name> -newserver <newserver name>" is not
doing it for me. It looks like it runs thru, but I still see the old
media servers assigned to the tapes after I run an inventory.
Thanks
Dan

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Script to label expired tapes in a VTL
Hi Clem,
Spoke to Symantec. There is a notify script called
media_deasssign_notify in the goodies directory (netbackup 60, not sure
of other versions). It is called whenever a piece of media is
de-assigned and sent to the scratch pool. So I have modified the script
to do the following.
1. Verify that the media is indeed in the scratch pool and is from the
VTL.
2. If it is, then bplabel it.
3. Else, ignore this volume.
I think it is simple and elegant. Your thoughts.
