Netbackup 7504, Windows 2008r2 Master and Media servers, with some Linux media servers in the environment.
Hello all.
We had a Linux server fail, which was also running the Netbackup media agent, as it is backing up its own databases through fiber to tape. Once a new server was stood up by Unix support to replace the failed one, and fiber-zoned to the tape drives, I rescanned the server on my end, and I can see the new server (of the same name) and it appears to be running its backups fine. However, I am left with an old path showing in the Activity Monitor under the 'drives' tab as MISSING_PATH:1:0:3:0 <serial number varies depending on the drive path I click>. This does not appear to be affecting the backups, but is causing several of my control paths to show as "DOWN"....no little red arrows or anything, all green.
I do not have access to the Linux servers in our environment, aside from the tweaks available through the Netbackup GUI. Is there some trick to getting this redundant drive showing the "missing_path" to go away from my end?
Thank you,
Todd
