Restore Redirect
This is a little completcated.
We backed up an Exchange SG to VTL, the tape expired and we reimported it via our Master Server rather than the media server that backed it up.
Long story short, it was done this way because at the time we were configuring a new VTL and ATL environment but NDMP wasn't working correctly and other methods were used.
The image was then duplicated off VTL to tape.
When we try to run the restore now Netbackup picks up the correct tape but tries to run the restore via the master server.
I've changed the Media Owner to the Robot Control Host of the TLD the tape is in, configured the "General server" settings to point the master server to the RCH for restores but the job keeps trying to go through the master server.
The job output looks like this
22/11/2010 15:15:20 - begin Restore
22/11/2010 15:15:49 - 1 images required
22/11/2010 15:15:49 - media 15717S required

22/11/2010 15:16:58 - awaiting resource 15717S Reason: Tape media server is not active, Media Server: app012s,
Robot Number: 6, Robot Type: TLD, Media ID: N/A, Drive Name: N/A,
Volume Pool: N/A, Storage Unit: N/A, Drive Scan Host: N/A

22/11/2010 15:17:35 - connected; connect time: 00:00:35
TLD6 is the correct ATL but app012s has no access to it.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

Ok, if you change the Media Ownership back to app012s master server first, using the process you initially ran then I suspect that will re-assign it to that host. Then run the movedb and it *should* work and correctly update the image record as well.
That would be the cleanest way.
Otherwise, if it's only this imported image that uses that media, edit the image record in the database and just replace app012s with app129s in each of the fragment lines.
Hope this helps.
