Hi Eric,
Thanks for the update.
I set the volume db host and robot host on the second master to the
first master.
I used tpconfig to do this.
I also made sure that the globaldb was set to the first master using
tpautoconf -set_gdbhost <first master>
I also set the NOT_DATABASE_HOST option in vm.conf on the second master.
The above setup gives me access to the drives and robot configured on
the first master.
But I cannot see any media or volume pool information. I only see the
default volume pools created after install. Perhaps I misunderstand
the concept of the volume database.
I just tried using the vmglob -set_gdbhost <first master> -h <first_master>.
No change. Still can't read media or pool info from first master on
the second master.
But robot and device config appears fine.
