How many tapes are we talking about? Do you have a library? Are you using
the inventory library GUI to add the volumes?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] cannot add new tapes into volume in media server


i am using netbackup 5.1 domain, i cant seem to add anymore new tapes into
the volume database using the vmupdate command, unless i delete old volumes
away...if i dont, the vmupdate will fail and hang the vmd daemon...which i
then have to restart netbackup...
can anyone advise, is there a limitation to the number of tapes i can add to
my database ??
