Thanks for the advice John
Think I would prefer to get the catalog in a sound state before going to 6.5.1. , would you agree?

The work seems to happen entirely within the EMM database and is a heck of a lot faster than moving individual tapes anyway. =) bpmedia: -freeze|-unfreeze|-suspend|-unsuspend -m <media_id> [-h <hostname>] [-v] -movedb -m <media_id> -newserver <hostname> [-newsvr_group <groupname>] [-oldserver <hostname>] [-v] -movedb -allvolumes -newserver <hostname> -oldserver <hostname> [-v] http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/304172.htm - John Nardello ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clooney, David Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 6:43 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] create mediaDB entry Hi All In our step towards upgrading to 6.5.1 from 5.1 MP6 it has become apparent that some media servers where not decommissioned correctly in the passed causing inconsistencies between the media and image catalogs. We have 2 media servers that I do no have a copy of the mediaDB file. The image catalog is easy enough to manipulate and reflect an existing media server with bpimage however this still leaves this missing entry in the new media servers mediaDB. Does any know how I can create a new entry for the necessary media (from the missing mediaDB's) into the existing media servers mediaDB? bpmedia -movedb requires the old server to be up and running. Thanks in advance.
