Dear Sirs,
I need ur kind assistance..I have a few volume pools in my netbackup server.
Each volume pools has a few medias ( tapes ) assigned to it. Unfortunately,all
the media ( tapes ) assigned to one of the volume pools are expired and cannot
be used back for backup. So I deassign the tapes using " vmquery -deassignbyid
xxxx " and reassign back to the original pool using " vmquery -assignbyid
xxxx".
But when I check the current backup tape list using this command
"bpmedialist -U" , I cannot see in the backup inventory list but all those
tapes are still physically inside the tape library and still in the volume
pool. So I did try the command " bpexpdate -ev " media id" -d "mm/dd/yyyy" , I
saw the following error message.
[b]"requested media id was not found in NB media database and/or MM volume
database.[/b]In fact , my intention is to be able to backup the servers which
are using the media tapes in this particular pool. Currently the tapes in this
particular pool are expired. The error message when I use " bpmedialist -U " is
as follow.
Server Host = PLUTO
id rl images allocated last updated density
kbytes restores
vimages expiration last read <-------

volume pool name = PLUTO_LTO
Inside this volume pool, I have TAPE1, TAPE2,....... up to .,
TAPE11 .But when I chk using "bpmedialist -U", I can see the above message and
cannot see the TAPE1, ......, TAPE10. But I can see these tapes ( TAPE1,....,
TAPE10) in the volume pool, PLUTO_LTO, using the GUI .
Kindly tell me step by step how to reuse all these tapes ,
TAPE1, .........., TAPE11 so that servers are able to backup using this volume
pool
KIndly please help me to advise what to do next. Currently I am running
"netbackup 3.4 " edition on solaris 7 version. I feel depress since the problem
was for quite a few days and all servers inside this volume pools are not able
to backup / restore anymore
