Hi Guru,
Environment running W2K3 R2 Enterprise Server SP2 with Netbackup 6.5.3 12 GB of
Memory
Two LTO4 FC drives with following setting in tape storage unit
Number of Drives: 2
Max MPX/drive:2
Policy Schedule Media Multiplex = 2
Max job per client = 99
Problem : Error bptm(pid=78
Hi,
I have also seen this with L700s when it simply cannot insert a tape into
the drive, while the gripper is OK, the tape(s)/drive itself being damaged in
some way can also cause problems.
Typically it is a bad drive, no tape can be inserted and it will keep
trying to load tapes into the dri
server_param server_x -f PAX -l will show you the settings for PAX.
readWriteBlockSizeInKB is the parameter you want to change to 256kb. This
will require a datamover reboot, but you could always fail-over and
fail-back the datamover in question to minimize any downtime. CIFS clients
will probab
Scalar 1000's were/are notorious for this. Also the dreaded "Dropped
Cartridge" error where the entire library stops functioning because it
thought it dropped a cart when nothing is wrong.

One peculiar thing that happens to us (at least twice a year) with our old
ADIC Scalar 1000:

It can also be a bad tape drive which is both the device with the problem and
the device reporting the error. If the tape drive is broken, it may not tell
you that it is broken but falsely that the tape cart is broken.
We have also seen times when something in the netbackup header is out of sync
You need to upgrade to 6.5.4. It was the first release to support 64
bit Windows systems. I'm not sure on how well it works, because I've
switched to a different shop, but yes, what you are seeing is expected
with 6.5.3 and Windows 64 bit OS.

Yes, in my experience, a frozen tape is very rarely due to an actual I/O
error writing data to the tape. It's usually due to robotic inventory
inconsistencies, write protect, or something similar which really has
nothing to do with the integrity of the tape itself.
And yes, even if you do get real
1) if you have netbackup set up to overwrite a tape that has other
types of data on it, it will use it and not freeze it. Depend on what
your settings are
2) yes it does not like to over write catalogs that is why your cat
tapes are in a different pool and should always return to that pool so

I concur - I've seen more frozen tapes due to drive/robot failures than
due to any intrinsic fault in the tape itself.
Also when we DO destroy a tape because we suspect or know it is bad it
is only AFTER all the images on it have expired. Remember that there
might have been images on the tape bef
Not to be a prude, but I don't concur with simply destroying any tape
that ever gets an error. 10 minutes of troubleshooting isn't going to
kill you and I would add to your troubleshooting list to check the
problems report for more information. I've had media frozen because of
robotic / tape mount

You need to get from EMC PowerLink the latest version of their document "
Configuring NDMP Backups on Celerra". I think a number of the suggestions
that I've seen only apply to 'remote NDMP' where the tapes are on a
'normal' media server with the ndmpmoveragent running, and the data comes
from
