Assign time is kept in the volDB this means that whatever happened in
his system during the upgrade it affected the volDB.  Are you sure that
the media server was not set to the volume database host?   99% of shops
do not do this but it can be done and if it occurs you can have
problems.   Also note that if you have problems recovering from this
situation you can open a tech support case and have them run the NBCC
scripts and let you know what to do to fix it. =20

Yep agree, and to correct my earlier post u only need worry about
/usr/openv/volmgr/database if the host was a volume database host
(either standalone or for one or more robots)=20

No, /usr/openv/netbackup/db/media directory.  Media is 'assigned' when a
media server writes a backup to it and an entry is added to
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/media/mediaDB (each media server has its own).=20

Ahh thanks, by the way when you mean save the MediaDB, you are
specifically talking about the:

/usr/openv/volmgr/database directory, where, after a media server
upgrade one would replace the contents of the server before rebuild into
that directory after a rebuild, right?=20

Thanks,

Justin.

Hi Justin=20

You were supposed to save the media server's mediaDB and restore it
after the rebuild.=20
 =20
You will have to rebuild the mediaDB by doing a phase 1 import of tapes.

We have ran into a problem with the media. After the media server
upgrades the tapes arent listed as assigned to the newly build media
server.  Only tapes assigned are ones since the rebuild.

When you rebuild multiple media servers, are or aren't the tapes
supposed to be "assigned" to the media server after an upgrade?=20

Thanks,

Justin.=20
