RE: [Veritas-bu] Clone a tape?Hmmm...very interesting.

Something just isn't right here.

Okay, from your VOLHOST server, run this.


vmquery -m <MEDIAID> -bx

look at the time assigned column to see if it is actually assigned.

If yes.

bpmedialist -ev MEDIAID -U


To see what media server it says "owns" the tape as well as the vimages and
the nimages values, finally what state the media is in (FULL, FROZEN,
SUSPENDED)

If it is FROZEN, and there are 0 images on it, then perhaps you need to
import this tape.


Let me know how this troubleshooting goes.

David

  I get this:

  INF - found no images or media matching the selection criteria

  According to GDM there are 69 valid images on the tape.  What about if the
images are not the primary images?
