I am using 5.1MP4. From the Java on a solaris workstation nor on the GUI on a windows workstation, can I find an option that Jonathan outlined below. The correct procedure according to the manuals is to remove the drive and add the new one. If you don't, you get a bunch of bad entries in the vmglob database.

Windows 2000 5.1 MP4 environment here and it's worked every time. -Jonathan _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 3:17 AM To: Martin, Jonathan (Contractor) Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] tape drive serial number changed when drive failed - what do I do? This procedure didn't work last time I checked (5.1), because browse button didn't update serial number. Usually I delete a drive in GUI and then add a new one with the same parameters. If it's a shared drive a little more work is needed. In 6.0 there is a command utility for replacing a drive, but I can't remember the name. pozdrawiam serdecznie Jakub Bielecki -- __________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Comtegra Sp. z o.o. http://www.comtegra.pl ul.

I use the GUI in Windows... Goto Devices --> Robot --> Drives. Select the drive you replaced and goto properties. Then "browse" for the new drive and serial. Not sure if this works for other OS or SSO etc etc.. -Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2006 4:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Veritas-bu] tape drive serial number changed when drive failed - what do I do?
