Hello,
I'm having a problem with NetBackup. Actually the problem started when we replaced one tape drive, I had lots of problems to remove it from NetBackup after it was removed. Finally I could remove all drives and the library, and then I added everything again. After that, I still had to switch the cluster on my media server, now everything's working, except for bpmedialist, which lists only 2 tapes on the clustered media server, when in fact there are for sure more media assigned to it.
My setup is:
Master Server - 6.0MP4 non-clustered on Windows Server 2003
Media Server - 6.0MP5, cluster of two Windows Server 2003 nodes. The name of the cluster is "mtl-fs1-nb".
This environment was recently upgraded from 5.1MP5, but it was working fine after the upgrade. Yes, I ran nbpushdata on the hosts on the correct order (at least I think I did).
If I ask bpmedialist to list the media assigned to the media server, this is the output:
C:\>bpmedialist -h mtl-fs1-nb
Server Host = mtl-fs1-nb
id rl images allocated last updated density kbytes restores
vimages expiration last read <------- STATUS ------->

In particular, if I ask bpmedialist about media 000146, it says that it's not on the EMM database:
C:\>bpmedialist -m 000146
requested media id was not found in the EMM database
However, nbemmcmd lists the media correctly, and says the Media Server for it is mtl-fs1-nb, which is correct:
C:\>nbemmcmd -listmedia -mediaid 000146
NBEMMCMD, Version:6.0MP4(20061102)

After the problem I had when replacing the tape drive, I ended up messing up with lots of things until I got it to work again, so I'm thinking I probably did something that ended up corrupting some database used by bpmedialist.
Does anyone have an idea of what can be going on? What can I do to diagnose the problem better?
Thanks!
Filipe
