Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup job gets to mounting tape but never to position

Are you certain that the host can communicate with the drive? I don't see any message that the tape was successfully mounted. NetBackup may not think that the tape is mounted if it can't communicate with the drive. You could try an mt command on the device to see if you can communicate with it.

Dennis Do you have bptm logging turned on with a verbose level of 5? If so what is in the log for this tape request. I assume the tape is in a tape library? If so does the tape cart get moved to the tape drive? What is in the system logs (messages, syslog, windows event log) for this request?
