Not sure on the Windows side, as that sounds like hardware/firmware. However,

Its possible EMM is having issues with the new WWNs being presented and
thinks some of the drives are duplicates.
Fairly easy to clean up once
I've seen this also. As much as people want to make Windows and UNIX play
nicely together, there are just somethings that don't translate between the
systems. The file system and file structure is one huge difference.
I would see similar issues when logging into our AIX master server using
When I'm doing my tests, I'm running the job only on a single client. I
noticed some high latencies on the guest using the built in tools when
running a test job yesterday, so I'm going to pursue your ideas further.
Thanks for your feedback!

Unix - on aix if I had done that I would bet my tape drive would have gone from
avail to defined - where defined says it is in the database but cannot see the
physical. So I would have removed it and run cfgmgr to rediscovery the tape
drives. Not sure how that works on Solaris
As to windows,
Hello,
Here we have a master/media server:-OS is Linux 2.4,RHEL 3.A tape library dell
PV 132T-LT02 with two tape drives connected to it via scsi.
2 days ago drive path of one of the drives showed as missing.Rebooted the
library+Server couple of times then tried to reconfigure the drives:-But
Is it possible to specify alternate location for /tmp while running bp
command ?
TIA

Hi Jonathan
I thought Symantec did not support compressed volumes on a Catalog? But
good to hear you got it working.

Wonder if its worth deleting the drives from the Server (within
NetBackup) and re-running Device Configuration Manager again?
In regards to the missing drives, any power or cabling issues? Is it
happening to one single drive all the time or the same drive.
Would agree with this.

To a single drive:
Checked and found that the device files are missing from the server.
Below are the files that are presently on the server:

1. make sure all services are running.
2. try deleting devices drive/robot from the GUi. If it fails you can use
vmglob -delete xxx from a command line.
Once the devices are removed.
3. Run scan or sgscan in /volmgr/bin
You should see a robot and x number of drives.

If you enable compression after x number of days on a windows master then
NetBackup compresses the catalog entries using NTFS compression after x days.
(as opposed to gziping on Unix/Linux.) I didn’t really get anything working. I
just compress everything for my “warm” DR (robo)copy.

I'd want to get together with my network folks to see if I'm getting dropped

Misconfigured connections and overloaded routers can kill performance.
I'd also look at windows performance stats ... perhaps memory

You need to install an agent in order to get the collections working.
The agent can be installed on the master or on the Opscenter server. We
couldn't install on the master because the agent wasn't supported on our
master platform x86 Solaris.

You do not need an agent if the Master is 7 and it is for monitoring a NBU
master server. Yes, there is an engineering binary to fix the polling issue.
Contact support.

Subject:
Drive 1 through 5 is on Switch A

So that could be why the Location addresses are duplicating. Would that cause a

The -1 -1 -1 says that it has lost the info on the drive.
Try it by hand via the gui

Open up a drive that shows -1 -1 -1 for one of your windows servers
From that window highlight the line for the media server that shows the -1's

Let it update.
