Do you have multiple media servers? If you do, the media
might have been assigned to the other media servers.
Run "bpmedialist -summary" to check where the media
has been assigned.
Regarding tapes being frozen, check the media server
that freezes the tapes. You might have incorrectly
specified the tape device path.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] FROZEN media problems?
Hi,
We have now had a rash or problems relating to about 100 tapes becoming
FROZEN. There appears to be nothing to unfreeze them. Some do unfreeze,
only to re-freeze again during our nightly runs. Most do not unfreeze,
ever, giving an error.
Here is what those with errors get:
# bpmedia -unfreeze -ev F00067 -h getback
requested media id was not found in NB media database and/or MM volume
database
Note that the data is in the database in some way, though, as here is what
vmquery gives on this same volume:
# vmquery -m F00067
======================================================
media ID: F00067
media type: DLT cartridge tape (11)
barcode: F00067
description: Fulls
volume pool: Fulls (2)
robot type: TLD - Tape Library DLT (8)
robot number: 2
robot slot: 126
robot host: getback
volume group: 00_002_TLD
created: Tue May 21 15:27:03 2002
assigned: ---
last mounted: ---
first mount: ---
expiration date: ---
number of mounts: 0
max mounts allowed: ---
=======================================================
It appears there is some problem with the media IDs. The weird part is that
ALL of the tapes just came out of shrink-wrap, so are blank and brand new.
What advice and knowledge is out there for this issue? Any help
appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Chris
