When you replaced the library did you first move all tapes to StandAlone
or NON-Robotic?
This is a potential problem if you have tapes with data that are now in
different Volume Pools than they were previously. The important thing
is that they are in the same POOL NUMBER as before. NBU doesn't
necessarily care about the NAME of the pool, but the pool index number.
If you do a vmpool -listall it will show you the pool index numbers next
to the names.
Have you tried restores yet from those tapes?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] VolDB issue
Hi,
we have NBU 5.0 MP3, just replaced a quantum library with a STK
library,
During this configuration, we were unable to run a inventory, even
though
the device config was correct.
The inventory command was throwing our a error similar to this "unable
to
connect to media database" or something similar to this.
After this, we moved to volDB to a different location & we re-started
the
Backup Server & re-configured the Devices, after which the Inventory ran
smoothly.
Now, here is the issue we are facing, all the old tapes which had data,
are going into the netbackup pool instead of the assigned volume pool,
because the VolDB no longer has the old information.
Has anybody faced this problem, any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.
Jayanth
