ACS w/ SAN media server

I'm having a problem with a new SAN media server and ACS library with mixed media install. When I try a backup it selects the correct media type but the job fails with code 96 after looking at all off the media of that type. Another issue I'm having is when I try to label the new media that job just sits there at mounting media. One thing that I did notice that was different from a non ACS library is the media does not list a Robot Control Host.

From bptm log.

I just got off the phone with support and we narrowed it down to ACS. When I do an inventory it comes back with the correct media. When I run a robtest it brings back media that it shouldn't have. We have 3 pools for ACS, one is for AS/400s and the other two are for NBU. I have the setting in vm.conf telling it to look at pool 1 and 2. Are there any other settings I need to tell ACS what pool to look at?Message was edited by:

Put the IP address and name of the media server into the /export/home/ACSSS/.rhosts file on the ACS server.
