Have you modified the available_media script?  A little while ago, someone 
posted a modification to speed it up, but the mod occassionally causes errors 
in output...

Subject: [Veritas-bu] available_media status DBBACKUP


Hi there,

IHAC
NBU: 3.2
S.O: 2.8
Jukebox: L3500
Slave server


About 2 weeks ago after running available_media I've noticed an increase
in the number of tapes with the status DBBACKUP, I've had this problem
before and after that latest Jumbo patch is seems to have gone away till
now. The
script seems to be working well on both the master and another Slave
server

I have not taken off any Server Media, and have not changed the bp.conf, 
and have no other errors messages.

If I do a detailed report on the tapes in question the status shows 0x0
Which means it is assigned to Enterprise NetBackup regular backups.

Which contradicts the available_media reports status of DBBACKUP.
I've have already made the recommended updates to the available_media
script, by inserting the sleep command, etc. All changes seem to have no 
effect. Since my two other servers available_media reports come back
clean by using the identical script, I'm thinking that the problem may
be
somewhere in the Media Manager volDB for that particular slave server.
Another
common factor is that it occurs in selected pools. Any advice would be
great.
