Media Import 1

[Mittun]

I have some tapes which gives me gray hair. I'm trying to import the tapes but I recieve this errormsg:


9/27/2005 3:46:48 PM - begin Import
9/27/2005 3:46:48 PM - started process bptm (5308)

I have manually removed the tape completely from NB/MM. When I inventory the robot and assign the tape to a pool everything works fine.

Is there any way to import my media's or are they gone?

This tape contains catalog information and bprecover NOT bpimport should be used to retrieve the catalog information.

Just because the VERITAS documentation states a certain thing does not make it a fact and thats the truth
