I have an IBM system (AIX 6.1) that was relocated from another site along with a Quantum PX720 tape library. New hostname and new IP addresses and I have successfully configured it as a media server to the master server (RedHat Linux 6.5). I have configured the robot under AIX with the current scsi_id value and NetBackup now sees the 8 tape drives and the robot. NetBackup 7.5.0.7 is installed on the master server with 7.1 on the AIX system so far. I plan to update later.
I ran thru the Configure Storage Devices wizard in the NetBackup admin console which created the robot definition and the storage unit for tape then I created a test policy to try to backup one of our test AIX servers to one of the new tape drives. There are 180 tapes in the Quantum tape library which all show up in the Scratch pool, yet I am still seeing error code 96 saying that no media is available.

It seems that I have done all the hard work and I am missing something very simple. Can someone point me in the right direction?
