I saw something like this when we were installing an NT media server with
Unix master server; NT went in there and took over tpconfig on the master
server!  Had to re-define all 20 drives.

NetBackup 3.4.2
Solaris 2.6
Separate master and media server

All of a sudden backups were failing on this media server with the error
"Unable to allocate new media, storage unit has none available".  After
some investigation it was found:

1.  The robot definition was gone from the media server.
2.  The drives were renamed and the paths were switched around.  Also the
4mm drive on the server was now defined. And the 4mm drive on the master
was now defined even though it strictly controls the robots.
3.  The volume host was changed from the master server to the local media
server.
4.  The barcode rules changed the default pool from scratch back to
netbackup.

And I think that was all.  Anybody have any idea what might have caused
this?  Nobody was fooling with NetBackup at the time this happened.

thanx,
dale
