Storage problem: Ready; Invalid storage device

There are 3 BE2012 servers: one management and two media servers.

At first, I upgrade menegement to BE2014.
And get problems with backup job on media server's storages. There was status:"Ready; Invalid storage device".
On the upgraded management server jobs worked succesfull if they backed up to management server's storage.

And if i go to Backup Definition Properties and then to Backup Options, and then to Storage, I can't select storages of media servers.
There are only: Any disk storage and Any virtual disk storage. No one servers:

Haw can I select any media server's storage?
I try to create new job, but there are only management stprage appear, not media server's storages.

And then, i upgraded one media server to 2014, but problems with "Ready; Invalid storage device" not disappeared.

I guess, this is problems on management server.

This is storage settings on server:

  • I found the answer!
    After upgrading, backup exec server become Standalone server.
    I see it, typing in Powershell: Get-BECentralAdministrationBackupExecServer 
    and get this:
    Get-BECentralAdministrationBackupExecServer : This Cmdlet can only be executed
    on a Backup Exec server of type 'CentralAdministration'.
    At line:1 char:1
    + Get-BECentralAdministrationBackupExecServer
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    and commanlet  Get-BEStandaloneBackupExecServer return right answer.

    But in storage tab there was all managed server with error in topic.

    I reinstall this server in CASO mode and all works fine!!!
