Pls help

  • Sometime right clicking on the Media Server in the Admin Console under Devices - Media Servers and relecting Stop / Restart Device Manager Server and using this to re-start the device management service brings them back

  • Try this on the Master server:

    nbemmcmd -updatehost -machinename backupmedia01 -machinestateop -set_tape_active

    Change this to set_disk_active if it's a disk based media server
