My media database is currently empty when using the NMC or when using the 
mminfo command. No volumes are shown. My weekend backups ran successfully using 
the media in the library which is correctly listed with barcode name and pool. 
I attempted a restore from one month ago and the correct tape was mounted and 
restore completed. So in some way the networker server can see the media 
database or I would have thought the backup and recovery would have failed.
   
  This problem occured after a recovery of the server using bootstrap and 
mmrecov. The media database was listed as being successfully recovered durirng 
mmrecov. 
   
  How can this situation be occuring? If it was a bug in te NMC then I woudl 
still expect mminfo to show some volumes.
   
  The verison of Networker is 7.3. I want to upgrade it but the upgrade failed 
reporting media database failure. What commands can I run on the media database 
to check it. I have run nsrim -X on the client indexes.
   
  Thanks
