Master: Windows 2k8 running 7.5.0.4
Media server #1: 5220 Appliance running 2.5.1
Media server #2: Windows 2k3 running 7.5.0.4
Shared tape robot connected to both Media #1 and #2
We're in the process of switching back to a 5220 from tape after fixing some rather serious errors on the 5220.
I'm trying to decomission Media Server #2 but, since it has been a full fledged media server, it has both tapes and images assigned to it. The images actually reside on the 5220.
I did try the nbdecommision command and it cleaned some things up but didn't complete cleanly...so things (both disk and tapes) are still assigned to this media server and it won't delete from the devices list.
I can get a list of these images (both tape and disk) with this command (in a DOS window):
bpimagelist -server oldservername -d 10/01/2012 | grep IMAGE | awk "{print $6}"
And that seems to match the "images on media" report if I filter it for that media server.
But when I then feed the resulting list (or even just one of the image numbers) into this command (or a FOR Loop version for the entire list):
bpimage -oldserver oldservername -newserver 5220name -id idnumber
it comes back with "no entity was found"
The 5220 is still hooked to the tape drive so it should be able to accept responsibility for tapes. And it's where the disk images are living so....
How do I change the media server assciated with an image (either tape or disk)?
