Why do you not use the GUI? When you say "delete 5 or more..." what do you
mean by delete? Are these tapes empty? If so, why do you need to add more,
if not how can you delete them?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] cannot add new tapes into volume in media server


hi Patrick,
yes i am using a 60-slot HP MSL library..i am just trying to add 4 or 5
tapes with new volume labels...running "Vmupdate -rt -tld -rn 1 "command
from the command line..i will get this error :
Update failed: could not add new media ID '9UD034' into slot 50
Insert media failed:
network protocol error (39)
One last time baby...
Unable to obtain database handle: Could not connect to vmd on host
stmes11bkup (70)
...the vmd daemon will then hang, and i have to restart my Netbackup
services..unless i delete 5 or more existing volumes from my database, this
operation will always hit this error...
