Yep agree, and to correct my earlier post u only need worry about 
/usr/openv/volmgr/database if the host was a volume database host (either 
standalone or for one or more robots)

No, /usr/openv/netbackup/db/media directory.  Media is 'assigned' when a 
media server writes a backup to it and an entry is added to 
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/media/mediaDB (each media server has its own).
 
Media list report (bpmedialist) extracts information from mediaDB.
 
Regards
 
Marianne

Ahh thanks, by the way when you mean save the MediaDB, you are 
specifically talking about the:

/usr/openv/volmgr/database directory, where, after a media server upgrade 
one would replace the contents of the server before rebuild into that 
directory after a rebuild, right? 

Thanks,

Justin.

Hi Justin
 
You were supposed to save the media server's mediaDB and restore it after 
the rebuild.
 
You will have to rebuild the mediaDB by doing a phase 1 import of tapes.

We have ran into a problem with the media. After the media server upgrades 
the tapes arent listed as assigned to the newly build media server.  Only 
tapes assigned are ones since the rebuild.

When you rebuild multiple media servers, are or aren't the tapes supposed 
to be "assigned" to the media server after an upgrade? 

Thanks,

Justin.
