Pool Media error 1

[JPJeffery]

Hi

Our backup PC in Hong Kong won't run its daily job because, it seems, it thinks the media (AIT) isn't Pool Media...when it shouldn't be thinking it's Pool Media in the first place.

i.e. this is NOT a Pool media job. Which tape to use is just defined as "*".

If we run the task manually it works.

What gives?

Arcserve version is 11.1 (Build 3060).

I know, it's old...it's a sore point...please don't get me started!

(To be precise, it's AIT5 media)

I can think of know reason for a job that is not using a Media Pool to look for media that is part of a Media Pool. Perhaps it is corrupted, try creating a new job.

Yes, I thought of creating a new job, but WINS isn't working very well at that site so a new job can't browse the network to see the target server(s)!

Well then try this.

Check under Media Pools to see if there is a media pool there by that name. If there is and you don't need it then delete it.

Select the Job and the Modify, then make sure everything is set as it should be and do a File Save As. Then delete the original job, open the saved job, and resubmit it back into the queue.

A next step would be to delete the queue which is the directory 00000001.qsd, and then open and resubmit.

Another possibility is to go into the Database Media Records view and delete these tapes.
