I answered my own question.  I had (foolishly) forgotten to put the -s 
backupserver option in the command:

scanner -i -fx -rx -s backup_server -S xxxxxxxxx rd=storage_node:\\.\Tape0

Sorry for the foolish question; dumb things happen when your in a hurry.

Thanks,
Phil M.

Hello,

I am trying to scan some tapes on a remote storage node and I keep getting the 
error:

scanner: media database not responding; retrying ...
scanner: media database not responding; aborting

These were the scanner commands I was using: 
scanner -i -fx -rx -S xxxxxxxx rd=storagenode:\\.\Tape0   
and
scanner -i -fx -rx -S xxxxxxxx \\.\Tape0


I then tried to scan them from the server and got a media error (of course) 
because it's looking in the tape drives that are attached to the server since 
they both are named Tape0 (Except the storage node drives start with 
rd:storage_node_name).

Client: Win2000 SP3 6.1.1 (remote storage node)
-2 drive SDLT 24 slots
-Tape0 & Tape1

Server: Winnt4.0 SP6a 6.1.1
-5 drive DLT 96 slots
-Tape0 thru Tape4


I thought you had to run the scanner command from the node attached to the 
jukebox but it wasn't clear in the scanner docs.  If anyone could shed some 
light on this for me I would be very grateful!!

Thank you very much in advance.
