We actually do dual (or more) HBAs to SAN so we'll have redundance for disks (EMC Clariion/DMX) so can also SEE the tape drives on multiple paths but only use one path for tapes. Having your tape drives stay on line isn't quite as critical as having your disk drives do it so we've never seen the

Not at all.if the total amount of data provided to the drive isabove the minimum streaming rate of the drive, then the drive will runat a constant speed, and the slower client will just have have fewerblocks on the tape than the faster clients. So your data interleaving on the tape, if

What do your logs say under /usr/openv/volmg/debug/* as well as /var/adm/messages? What does your master's tpautconf -t, and /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/scan say? Are the serial numbers in sync? What about the duplex on the media server interface half/full, and can you do a forward and reverse lookup

I work in a lab environment too so I feel your pain... I hate to say this, but you may have jumped the gun going to 6.0. Netbackup officially supports clients that are 1 rev behind the master - this means that if you have a problem with backups or restores, support won't get involved. Your

What happens when you try to do the move without the unload ??? What does mt tell you when you query the drive via the OS ??? Remember that the OS can think differently of the drive(s) to what Netbackup knows. I have had issues with an L100 in the past. The 180 is quite similar, the only real
