Hi there,

I had similar problems recently with a brand new NetBackup 5.1 Solaris=20
master server and a Windows media server.

I followed the instructions in this technote :=20
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/243792.htm
["How to rebuild the globDB (global device database file) on the master=20
server"]

That seems to have fixed my problems, for now.

Good luck,
Dean
