Completed the upgrade to 7.5.0.5, and hit another issue.
I am running on a server with a standalone drive, when I try and do a catalog recovery from a tape from production server, the jobs appears to run but nothing much happening.
Queried at cmd prompt, bpdbjobs -report, and identified the jobid, and on query, shows the following
C:\Documents and Settings\ops>bpdbjobs -report -most_columns -jobid 4
4,2,1,,,,w3bhobxx01,w3bhobxx01,1369044505,0000000039,0000000000,,1,0,,,,0,3008,root,,,,90000,,w3bhobxx01,,,,0,0,0,0,,,,,,,,,,
w3bhobxx01,CAT004,,,0,0,,,,,1,,,,Required media server is offline for tape (NetBackup HCART1, w3bhobxx01),
I only have a standalone tape drive, and the server is both master and media, all processes under services shows as running, not sure what else to check.
Under Devices -> Media Servers, the current shown status of Active for disk, and using technote TECH168379, I have run command
nbemmcmd -updatehost -machinename <mediaserver hostname> -machinetype media -machinestateop set_tape_active -masterserver <masterserver hostname>
this changes that status to read Active for Tape and Disk and subsequently trying a catalog restore got an error as below.
Was not sure if I needed to take this route but that's my effort so far. Puzzled in error showing path for a unix path while this server is on windows.

Never see this before, but following technotes gives us some idea:

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH63343 (more relevant as it talks about standalone tape drive)
