What are the correct steps to take to make sure that different hosts see
the same serial number for a tape drive...

=20

I.e., what is going on is if we have a drive failure, the vendor comes
out and replaces it.  Now the robotic controller/master server will see
the new drive correct with the new serial number.


All of the other media servers still see the old serial number,
according to vmglob -b -listall=20

=20

What are the correct steps to update this drive info on the media
servers?  One or two discrepancies is no big deal, they can still access
the drive and everything works, but I want to clean these up when they
happen.

Thanks,

Taylor
