Hi, Do you have umount delay set? It takes some time for tapes to travel within the SL8500, especially if they need to take the elevator.
Do you have the latest microcode/firmware on the drives and the library?

All, My group is setting up two Sun/StorageTek SL8500s. Sun did the install of ACSLS, there were no problems on their side. Each SL8500 is in its own environment. On each SL8500, we have 8 media servers, connected to four drives each, giving us a total of 32 drives. For testing, I did the following. Ran a NON-MULTIPLEXED backup to each drive, to ensure each drive worked properly. To do this I kicked off four jobs in succession. When I do this, I utilize all 4 drives. I did this with each media server without a single problem. However, when testing everything together, all 32 drives, I kick off 45 jobs for example. It says there are 32 active jobs in netbackup, which is correct. The problem is, randomly, 2 or 3 jobs will hang at "Mounting MediaID.." and then the drive will go down after 30 minutes. Why is this? With an L700, I can send 500-1000 jobs to all of the drives in it and there is never a mounting problem. There is nothing wrong with any of the drives, they are brand new. I can use ACSLS and dismount the media from the drives and then re-run my earlier test backups, one at a time to each of the four drives per-media server without any issues. It is only when the robot receives a 'burst' of jobs that this happens. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Thanks for any help and responses, Justin. _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
