Is vmd running?  It is started by /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/ltid, so if the last
time you stopped/started NetBackup,  ltid did not come down, then vmd would
not have been started.
 
This has happened to me in the past.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Problem : unable to allocate new media for
backup,storage unit has none available


Hi,

  I have a problem with Netbackup 4.5FP_6. All ok until now but now we have
a problem (we haven't touch anything). When a save start, we have this
message :
14/12/06 18:41:03 - Error bptm(pid=307) Media Manager volume pool
Exchange2003 has no more unassigned media in robotic device TS8(0) 
14/12/06 18:42:12 - end writing
unable to allocate new media for backup, storage unit has none available(96)
14/12/06 18:42:12 - Error bpsched(pid=388) suspending further backup
attempts for client ***********, policy Exchange_2003, schedule quotidien
because it has exceeded the configured number of tries 
14/12/06 18:42:12 - Error bpsched(pid=388) backup of client ************
exited with status 96 (unable to allocate new media for backup, storage unit
has none available)

After read this mailing list I've test some commands and for this group
I'haven't any frozen with available_media (only active and available) 

I have this message with this command : vmquery -a -bx
Could not query all values : failed receiving from vmd (72)
The other lines seems good.

Can you please help me ?

Regards
