Regarding creating another scratch pool. In most master/media server cases , 
the master/media server acts as the volume database host as well and all media 
servers in that environment then query info from the master/media server , 
namely the below two files on the master.

/install path/openv/volmgr/database/poolDB
/install path/openv/volmgr/database/volDB

So in other words if you are trying to create another scratch pool on a media 
server that is using the master/media server as the volume database host it is 
in actual fact trying to add another scratch pool to 

/install path/openv/volmgr/database/poolDB  on the master/media server and will 
hence fail as you already have one.


You could try specifying the new media server to be its own volume database 
host using tpconfig and in turn should use its own
/install path/openv/volmgr/database/poolDB
/install path/openv/volmgr/database/volDB

Then you should be able to create your new scratch pool, you most certainly 
would have to name your second scratch pool different to your existing scratch 
pool name.

Hope it helps, let us know the outcome.

Usage: vmpool [-h volume_database_host]
           {
           -listall [-b | -bx] |
           -listscratch |
           -add <pool_name> "<description>" <host> <uid> <gid> |
           -change <pool_name> "<description>" <host> <uid> <gid> |
           -delete <pool_name>
           -set_scratch <pool_name>
           -unset_scratch <pool_name>
           }

I have never actually tried this, but you might try putting a SCRATCH_POOL = 
entry in /usr/openv/volmgr/vm.conf on the new media server.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] New Media Server


 We have installed a new media server with a two drive robot at a remote site 
to replace two stand alone drives and the old media server.

We want to setup 4 volume pools including a  scratch pool at the remote site.
It appears that these pools must be defined at the new media server as I have 
not been able to create another scratch pool in our existing master/media.

Current version is 5.1 mp4
The master/media is solaris
The new media server is solaris
The remote site has window clients.

I'm wondering what else to look for when creating this new setup.
