Master server: hostname masterserver, 5.1MP6, Solaris 8
Media server: hostname mediaserver, 5.1MP6, Solaris 9
I am trying to deassign an empty media B80295 on a media server mediaserver by running
the bpexpdate command on the master server. In example 1, the bpexpdate command
bpexpdate -deassignempty -m B80295 -host mediaserver
fails (host is unreachable) whereas in example 2 the bpexpdate command
bpexpdate -deassignempty
is successfull.
Example 1:
The following command does not work.
root@masterserver:/home/root> bpexpdate -deassignempty -m B80295 -host mediaserver
Search for empty media that meet the following criteria:
Host: mediaserver
Media id: B80295
Continue? y/n (n)y
Could not update media list, host is unreachable
host is unreachable
root@masterserver:/home/root>
.
Example 2:
The following command works.
root@masterserver:/home/root> bpexpdate -deassignempty
Search for empty media that meet the following criteria:
Host: All
Media id: All
Continue? y/n (n)y
The following empty media will be deassigned:
Host:mediaserver Media-id:B80295
Are you SURE you want to continue y/n (n)?y
Deassigned media-id B80295 on host mediaserver
Deassigned 1 out of 510 media-ids found.
root@masterserver:/home/root>
Does anyone have an idea why the bpexpdate command
bpexpdate -deassignempty -m B80295 -host mediaserver
fails (host is unreachable) ?
It is possible to successfully run the command <bpmedialist -mlist -U -h mediaserver> on the master server (see command output below). Therefore, I believe that it is basically possible for a command run on the master server to access the media db on the media server.
root@masterserver:/home/root> bpmedialist -mlist -U -h mediaserver
