The following command will change the media type in the image database on the 
master and the media database (mediaDB) on the media server:

cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd

./bpmedia -m {mediaid} -changeden -new {new_media_type}

 

The following command will change the media type in the volume database (volDB) 
on the master:

cd /usr/openv/volmgr/bin

./vmchange -m {mediaid} -new_mt {new_media_type}

 

The 'new_media_type' is in lower case (dlt, dlt2, or dlt3) in both commands.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] hcart types may be causing "recovery without import"
        problem

Hi

Getting "media not in database"  problem  from a "recovery without import"
(copying the images to DR ).

A phase 1 scan - a nogo as images in database.

The tapes there, images in the catalogue and browable - the two just don't
want know about each other.
One suggestion is the media is  known  as hcart on one system and hcart2 on
the other ...possible problem.

Any ideas ?
