The media servers do have a media database - see /usr/openv/volmgr/database.
However (as I understand it), it does not store catalog information, only
media information for the media it controls. I was told that the main
function of this database is to help the media server keep track of which
volumes are full. Were you to, in a pique of madness, delete this database,
then that media server couldn't tell which volumes have remaining space and
would assume everything is full.
Do a bpmedialist -mlist -l and you'll see what volumes are in each media
server's volume databases.
I don't care for this design, but it may make sense in a widely-distributed
environment where you might want to keep network traffic between media
server (maybe in a remote office over a slow WAN) and the master to a
minimum. But I still hate it ;)

Do media Servers hold any databases themselves? I think the Master Server
holds all the catalog databases.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Drive control via command line
I am running Netbackup 3.2GA on Solaris.
I have done various things from the command line, but currently have a
problem I am not sure how to rectify.
Most morning when I check the backup with xnb running on X windows, I notice
under the Device Management tab that 1 or more drives are down.
I use an Sun L1000 storage unit by the way. Some times backups are hung due
to this and are just sitting there.
I just action a drive control command on each drive that is down by
selecting the drive, hitting drives, drive control and selecting UP (AVR
CONTROL).
Now I need to try and monitor this by a script which will run, but I need it
to automatically change the drive to UP if it is noticed as being in a down
state.
I have found /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmoprcmd which I can manipulate to find
the drive status, but I do not now how to do this "drive control" from
command line so can anyone help please please.
If so please let me know
Thank you
Dave
