  • That mediaid just relates to the disk pool the backup is held in.

    Each disk pool has a unique media id that is taken by every backup within that disk pool

    Not sure why promoting to primary would be an issue - the backup id is the unique part

  • Agree with Mark 

    Plse see this tech note as well

  • There is nothing to fix .. if you run the below command it will show you which disk pools you have and their associated mediaid (depending on your disk type):

    nbdevquery -listdv -stype disktype

    Where disktype is either PureDisk, AdvancedDisk or and OST type

  • I am curious to know why you belief this is a problem that need to be 'fixed'... indecision

    Please help us to understand why you believe that this is a problem?
