Hello

When you changed the drives, did the new drives perhaps get detected as a different type (HCART2 instead of HCART3, etc)?

Make sure the drive type matches the storage unit and the media in the robot exactly.

Please show us output of the following commands:

On the media server that is configured as NDMP media server:
tpconfig -l
(command is in /usr/openv/volmgr/bin)

On the master server:

bpstulist -U
bppllist <policy-name> -U
(commands are in /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd)

available_media
(command is in /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies)
If this command produces lots of output, please redirect output to a file (e.g. media.txt) and upload here as File Attachment.

PS:
Are you aware of the fact that NBU 6.x ran out of support in 2012?
