Netbackup 5.0mp4 Solaris9 connected to an L700 via fiber with 5 drives. (3 SSO with 2 media servers)
Has anyone come across the below problem before and has a work around? One job seems to take over 24 hours for its full backup. We have plans in motion to get this machine added as with SSO but until that happens ( stupid politics in a large company ) we have the problem where some tapes get stuck in the drive. This i think is because after a certain time when the tape goes to be put back into its originating slot the destination is actually full because something else has taken its place. I did have a script i call NBU_loadtape which would periodically run an inventory so that when ops change the tapes i dont need to do it. I thought this was causing the problem so put a hook into it to exit if there were jobs already running. So now im not sure either whats putting tapes into slots they didnt originate from or if there is anyway to automatically tell the tape loading bit to put into a free slot. Currently i have to do it manually. Normally if jobs all complete within 24 hours i dont hit this problem.
