This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hi,

Need advice, we are trying to restore here. Media needed are already in the tape library, I already ran the inventory to update the volumes.

Restore says " If Media id ######is not in a robotic library administrative interaction may be required to satisfy this mount request."

The tapes are already in the library.

12:46:19 (1386148.xxx) Restore job id 1386148 will require 1 image.

12:46:19 (1386148.xxx) Media id CI4322 is needed for the restore.

12:46:19 (1386148.xxx) Media id CI5981 is needed for the restore.

12:46:54 (1386148.001) Restoring from image created Sat Sep 15 00:00:43 2012

12:46:59 (1386148.001) INF - If Media id CI5981 is not in a robotic library administrative interaction may be required to satisfy this mount request.

may not be a problem

that message always "threw" me as it sounds like something is wrong when it's just informational

INF - If Media id CI5981 is not in a robotic library administrative interaction may be required to satisfy this mount request.

unless, of course, the media is not in the library

will restore -- where there is a Will there is a way
