What I like about CDC/OpenVision/VERITAS/symantec Backup Plus/AXXion-NetBackup/NetBackup whatever product Is that there are many different ways to configure and run it. All of them have benefits and drawbacks. It keeps the product interesting. I'm OK, you're OK, our backups are OK ...wow

Hi, Do you have umount delay set? It takes some time for tapes to travel within the SL8500, especially if they need to take the elevator. Do you have the latest microcode/firmware on the drives and the library? Hampus Lind Rikspolisstyrelsen National Police Board Tel dir: +46 (0)8 - 401 99 43

Justin, Are you absolutely certain that you have your drive mapping done properly? The fact that the job fails 30 minutes after the initial mount attempt makes it sound like you are failing with a media mount time out. The most common cause (especially with ACS environments) is a simple

We have it set to 200.. But sometimes we have issues with netbackup releasing tapes after backups. Sometimes the tape stays in the drive for 30-40 minutes, even if we have jobs in queue. We have logged cases to Symantec about this and also to STK/SUN. But no one can tells us what`s wrong. We had

When tapes are added, NBU puts them in different Volume Groups and there is always a different volume group for a different library. You just need to configure one scratch pool and make sure you put enogh tapes in it from each robot. MK --- Paul Keating [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've never had

Yes everything matches perfectly. Remember, if I run the backups slowly, one at a time, I can see each of the 4 drives being used per each media server. When I run a burst of jobs though, 29-30 of them work (1 tape per each drive) and a RANDOM 2-3 drives do not work (it differs each time I do

Hmmm, do your media server's have multiple NIC, and are you using IP multipathing software? (like in.mpathd under Solaris) If so, then make sure that you have set the ACS_SSI_HOSTNAME appropriately in your vm.conf file. The acs daemon inserts the value (or inferred value) of ACS_SSI_HOSTNAME
