Hi,

I just moved my Networker server to new server hardware and at the same
time upgrade from Solstice backup 6.x (=Sun's version of Networker) to
EMC Networker 7.3.2. Most settings got upgraded without problems except
for the media database. If I run an inventory on my jukeboxes Networker
complains the tapes are not in the media index.

I tried recovering the media database using 'scanner'. However whenever
I tell Networker to mount a specific tape it ejects the tape immediately
again before I can run 'scanner'.

Any ideas how to recover the media database? I still have access to the
old server if that helps.

Nico
