Have you tried the available_media command?

We had an issue similar to this. Our IBM drives scanned in as HCART2 drives. Once we changed those to DLT things starting working.

Actually all of our new vms are going on DL585s, and you're right, they work well. We found that we had to pass "noapic" to the kernal as it was booting in order for the server to come up. Now things look as they should.

Has anyone installed esx 3.0.1 on a HP DL-740?

We used to use the windows admin console in our environment quite extensively. The usual issues we had were: had to have workstation in bp.conf file of master and media servers, the servers had to be able to resolve workstation name, and no matter what the book says, you have to stop and start...

We currently backup our netware servers using the target method. We have found that different admin's sometimes change the target name. When the restore trys to use the old target name (default to that job)it can't connect. If you use this method then double check the target name. If not, then...

We put the patch on all of our master and media servers. I wasn't to happy about upgrading from 5.1 mp2 to mp3a to apply a security patch, but that's what we did. We just turned off the port on all of our clients, we don't use the java feature anyway. And I didn't see any netware patches either.

Thanks for the quick responce. That seems to do the trick.

I have a command that I want to run against a large number of servers. I have the list of servers, how do I run it against one server at a time? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, it looks like bpplinclude is the piece I was missing.

Does anyone have the syntax for creating Policys from the command line? Bppolicynew and bpplsched seem to work fine for creating and changeing the attributes, except I can't change the files I want to backup.

Assuming that there is indeed enough space in the filesystem to hold this oracle data file, there could be another reason it's not working. Your sys admin guy (or gal) may need to make sure he has the filesytem large file enabled.
