If you're running NBU 4.5 or better, you're probably going to need to delete 
and rebuild globDB. 

Here's an article that will lead you down that path - this procedure will come 
in handy if you ever have to do disaster recovery at a site that's not like 
your home site as well:

The only thing I'd do differently is if I were running SSO, I'd allow the 
wizard to discover all the SAN based devices from the Windows or Java 
Management Console.

Good luck!

Subject: [Veritas-bu] renaming a media server

I recently had the tedious task of rebuilding the OS on our master 
server.   A faulty CPU managed to clean out a bunch of files from the 
root filesystem after a crash, and I figured this might be a good time 
to go to Solaris 9.  The NB catalog was safe, as were the binaries and 
configs, so I made a manual tape backup before I started the work.  
Reloading the OS changed the device entries for the tape drives and 
robot, so I had to re-work them back into the configuration.  It all 
works fine now except for when I refresh the Device Monitor (the screen 
on the java console that shows all the tape drives and robots), I get an 
error with the Global Device Database trying to add devices it thinks 
belong to the secondary network interface on the master server.  The box 
has two gig NIC's, and connects to two subnets.

Where is the config file that defines which hosts are master and media 
servers?
Or which vm command allows me to edit this setting.

I have not yet found a tech document on veritas' site that explains what 
I'm trying to do.
