[Veritas-bu] New media server showing "Active for Disk" not "Active for

All:

I’m currently running NetBackup 7.6.0.1 on Redhat Linux. I am trying to move one of my media servers to a different host. I want to get everything in place on the new server, point all my policies to the new server then remove everything from the original media server. I’ve installed the NBU media server software on the new server and all the drives are set up and visible on the it. After I run the “Configure Storage Devices” everything looks ok with the following exceptions:

On the page that shows the “Backup Devices:” all the tape drives on the new media server have “Yes, see properties” under the Limitations column. Every other drive has “None” in this column. I checked the Properties and don’t see any difference between any that have “Yes, see properties” and “None”. Continuing with the Wizard, all is normal until it tries to restart the Media Manager device daemon on the new media server. Instead of a check mark by it there is what looks like a disk icon with a yellow triangle on it.

After the Configure Storage Devices wizard completes, and I click on “Media Servers” the new media server’s Status is “Active for Disk” and not “Active for Tape and Disk”.

I’ve tried running the nbemmcmd to set_tape_active for the media server. After running the command, the media server shows up as “Active for Tape and Disk” but when I go through the “Configure Storage Devices” wizard, it goes back to “Active for Disk”.

Anyone have any idea what I need to do to get this media server to recognize the tapes attached to it?

Thanks in advance….
