Quick Q - regarding windows - is it Windows Server 2003 Enterprise or
standard?
For our standard Win2k3 servers we had to reboot to get the drives back, but
for Enterprise we do NOT need to reboot. The Plug and Play feature finds the
drives and allows us to function correctly.

.
For windows systems this is a common problem.
Try to upgrade the firmware of the SAN switches and the firmware of the
fibre cards. Also upgrade the driver of the card or st patches for Solaris.

Cant comment on the unix, but that does not sound right! What sort of
library / connection is in place?
Does Windows Plug 'n Play allow you to perform a scan of hardware once its
back online?

Not that common I will add :-)
Seen the issue in a Win2k3 Standard OS, but in Enterprise, its completely
different.
Of course, could also be other factors to consider; As there is a Solaris /
Unix box involved here and that is losing the connections that I would be

Tell us something about your SAN ...
Are you in a fabric environment, or a loop environment ? Are the
drives fabric enabled drives in Point-to-point mode or are they Public
loops attached to your fabric (if you have one) ?
If you are in loop mode, a LIP (loop initialization) or target reset
Anyone point me in the direction of a doc or technote on how to
benchmark the bpbkar performance on a unix ( solaris ) client? I cant
find anything. Only the windows one.
Im having backup speed problems and want to rule out NBU. Strange thing

Wasnt there something in the MediaMgr_DeviceConfig_Guilde in
/usr/openv/volmgr about a system low on resaources may occasionally
unload the st and sg drivers?
If unix i think you can put forceload: drv/st and forceload: drv/sg
into /etc/system on separate lines.
Just a thought

Hi all
Scenario
Solaris 8 Master/media server 5.1 MP5
Multiple Windows media servers all 5.1 MP5
Quick question, is there a way of checking what drives the windows media
servers can see from the command line on the master server.
I.e I would like to obtain tpautoconf -t info for the media
What do your logs say?

Yeah I know of the below, what I'm trying to achieve is putting a script
together to check drives across the SSO environment and re-organise
accordingly by adding/deleting as necessary. To do this I would need serial

Vmdareq -a unfortunately doesn't give me the right info and additionally

Hello all,
We're running a Solaris w/ NetBackup 5.0 master server environment with

You have a bad robot controller board in your L700. If you remove the side

You can use the unix time command to measure how long a bpbkar to /dev/null takes (googlebpbkar /dev/null and you should see the exact syntax).What do you mean by slow? How many MB/s are you getting?

The fact that your L700 configuration was cleared leads me to wonder about
one very critical setting in the L700 (or STK TLD libraries in general).
If you are using SCSI to control your robot, AND your robot is physically
on the same SCSI bus as another tape drive, make certain that the On

It seems like I have control over moving media around in the silo now.
However, when I want to unload the media via robtest, I have to do it

Your first unload is probably failing because it is still in the process
of mounting the tape. After you move a tape in wait a few minutes
before trying the unload.
