Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU not seeing tape in tape drive
Why are you trying to import the tape? If it is a catalog backup you should be recovering it, I believe. It has been a while since I've had to do this so my knowledge is a little rusty.

Hi, Why don't to give the Catalog Recovery Wizard a try? This wizard will ask you for the DR file and recover required databases from the tape.

Don't get me wrong, i have done other DRs and it's always been straight forward but this one is weird. I agree shouldn't have to import the tape but it's the last thing i tried as i was running out of ideas... Going back on Friday to try again with another set of tapes... +-- |This was sent by chris.fa...@uk.fid-intl.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU not seeing tape in tape drive
If you do an import on a piece of media that is already recognized, you will get an error saying it's already there and/or the images that it found are already there. You won't get the error you are reporting, this sounds more hardware/configuraiton related, to me. Try running the device config wizard for the drive and then try again. Make sure all connections are secure, maybe even reseat the scsi card and cables at all attachment points before running the wizard.
