Hi Dan,
 
If the tapes do not show up in bpmedialist, how do you know that they are in
a frozen state?
 
It is possible that the tapes might belong to a Media server that was
decommisioned without moving the tapes?
 
You can find your solution in technote
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/241574.htm.  I have used it many times
at customer sites when they have reomed Media servers before expiring/moving
tapes.
 
Regards,
 
Jim Peppas.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Can't unfreeze tapes?



I have 2 tapes that are physically located in our tape library and show up
in the netbackup GUI.  The tapes are in a Frozen state right now, and I am
unable to un-freeze the tapes.  When I do a bpmedialist from the
master/media servers, the tapes in question do not show up.

 

It seems rather odd that the GUI would show the tapes, but that the command
line would not show the tapes.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Dan
