Netbackup 5.0 mp5s2 on solaris 8 connected to L1000 with 4 DLT7000 drives in.
Has anyone seen it where robtest shows drive with barcode UNKNOWN, yet there are no tapes in the drive? Invoking robotic test utility: /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tldtest -r /dev/sg/c3t0l0 -d1 /dev/rmt/0cbn -d2 /dev/rmt/1cbn -d3 /dev/rmt/2cbn -d4 /dev/rmt/3cbn Opening /dev/sg/c3t0l0 MODE_SENSE complete Enter tld commands (? returns help information) s d drive 1 (addr 128) access = 1 Contains Cartridge = no SCSI ID from drive 1 is 2 drive 2 (addr 129) access = 1 Contains Cartridge = no SCSI ID from drive 2 is 3 drive 3 (addr 130) access = 1 Contains Cartridge = yes Barcode = UNKNOWN SCSI ID from drive 3 is 4 drive 4 (addr 131) access = 1 Contains Cartridge = yes Barcode = UNKNOWN SCSI ID from drive 4 is 5 READ_ELEMENT_STATUS complete The drives keep going down if i up them and a job tries to use them. I currently have them in a down state. The drives are flashing, but the akibia support after not responding for ages are trying to say its a netbackup problem as mt -f /dev/rmt/2cbn status shows there is no tape loaded. ( which it wouldnt because there isnt one ) # for d in 0 1 2 3; do mt -f /dev/rmt/$d'cbn' status; done /dev/rmt/0cbn: no tape loaded or drive offline /dev/rmt/1cbn: no tape loaded or drive offline /dev/rmt/2cbn: no tape loaded or drive offline /dev/rmt/3cbn: no tape loaded or drive offline I am thinking the drives are goosed and robtest cannot talk to them to get a clear picture. Is this on the right track? Anyone any ideas? _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
