You can't delete NDMP host with tapes assinged. You should to change owner of all tapes to new machine (NDMP host or Media Server) then delete old host and add new one.

You have to follow the same directions as decomisioning a media server.  Refer to link below.  You will have to reassign any media that is assigned to that ndmp host before you can remove it.

when i try to change ownership of all images with the command

bpimage -newserver <name> -oldserver <name>

it says "no entity was found"

 

also i did 

bpimage -newserver <name> -id <media-id>

This command successfully completed.

after that i tried to delete the ndmp host. but failed to delete witht the same error.

 

How i can find the media's associted with this ndmp client.

I have gone to netbackup management--> catalog--> and searched for the ndmp images. Is there any other way to search it ?
