its data over the SAN directly to tape.
Absolutely correct. Also, if those TSM files are large, you will get good
performance. All you need to plan is that at the time your 30 minute slot
comes round, the shared tape

I have a SAN Media Server, using SSO to a tape library, its own
dedicated STU.
Now this backup job can be configured over the LAN or directly accessing
the Tape Drive.
LAN speeds are half than what they are accessing the tape drive over the
Fabric.
It could be the terminology, as SAN
Netbackup should be more than happy to talk to the stand alone drive.
Then it is a case of importing the tape (or tapes) that is needed for
the restore. if you have an inventory of what was on the media, then you
should be ok.
NOTE: It can take up to 4 hours to do a full import of a single tape.

FT Server is only required if you want to backup SAN Clients (ie: Standard
NetBackup clients, configured to talk over the SAN directly).
This is covered in the Admin Guide for Shared Storage - Google it, it can be
downloaded :)

Yes, and many more hours if you have multiplexed backup streams which span
multiple tapes.

Can you see the devices?

Try a quick re-configure?

Are the drives OK?
Can you run robtest and run s d and see the drives?

David,
I never had any luck with the wizard creating drives in a library. I always
used tpconfig and set it up that way. It sounds like everything else is
working. You should be able to add the drives to the library using
tpconfig.

I also never had any luck with the wizard.
I always set add the drives by hand, seems to work better.

Tpconfig worked flawlessly. Robtest moved a tape from s1 to d1 fine, but is
giving SCSI errors when trying to move back. Devfsadm seemed ok. I'm
starting to suspect a physical tape library problem, which is of course, not
maintained and really old.

Did you rewind and offline the tape OR wait 3 min before you tried to
unload?

I guess I didn't... the move worked
The Device Monitor still doesn't see the drives, although media and device
management' does.

Checkout my photos -
1. Quit jnbSA and re-open it.
2. Does vmoprcmd -d ds show the drives on the media server?
3. Is the 'robotic controller host' set correctly?
4. If not, stopltid, run tpconfig, set it.
5. Then manually/hand re-configure the drives to be drives in the robot.

David,
Did you remember to stop and restart the daemons after making the changes?
If this is not the master or stand alone server you should stop and restart
them on the master and the media server. It should remind you when you run
tpconfig (at the start) but it should be:
