I just DOWNed a drive on a media server and it shows correctly in vmoprcmd with or without the -dMake sure you specify the media server&nbsp; vmoprcmd -d -h beta&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;I would restart ltid on beta to get everything in sync again.There could be intermittent comms issue with the master so that status is not updated on the master.

no didn't work. The two drives are still be shown as down.what's the difference between vmoprcmd and vmoprcmd -d ? one will use the globdb and the other will ask directly to the media server ?

marianne · Answer

Suspicion is then with the master server... not polling media servers often enough or something to that effect.&nbsp;
As far as I know vmoprcmd info is held in memory and not in config files or database...&nbsp;There used to be a TN about this (where vmoprcmd output was different from tpconfig) but it does not seem to exist anymore.
If this is a real problem to you, try to restart NBU on the master.&nbsp;

well, it is far easier to manage masters from one server only and ssh the vmoprcmd command than trying to find the media servers that are up and doing the tpconfig -d (or vmoprcmd -d -h).As is, I will agree that restarting the master is a workaround but unfortunately, I cannot restart the master anytime I want.What would be interesting is to know how we can refresh this vmoprcmd command.
