Re: [Veritas-bu] REQUIRED_INTERFACE, anyone using private backup networks?
I've never liked REQUIRED_INTERFACE as it seems to be problematic. Perhaps it's just me. Most of our NBU servers have at least 3 networks (backup network, mgmt network and metadata/intra-nbu network). We use multiple host file entries with the different interface names and corresponding entries on the client. We also have to put the proper SERVER entries in place. It's probably more complicated but as long as these entries don't get messed with, all works perfectly. My point is perhaps this type of solution could work for you.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU not seeing tape in tape drive
If you do an import on a piece of media that is already recognized, you will get an error saying it's already there and/or the images that it found are already there. You won't get the error you are reporting, this sounds more hardware/configuraiton related, to me. Try running the device config wizard for the drive and then try again. Make sure all connections are secure, maybe even reseat the scsi card and cables at all attachment points before running the wizard.

Why are you trying to import the tape? If it is a catalog backup you should be recovering it, I believe. It has been a while since I've had to do this so my knowledge is a little rusty.
