My guess would be a pool problem.  Please describe the pool(s).

Thanks

Hi Networkers,

My SAN environment as below, all running W2K with NW6.1.1 using DDS sharing
a single HP LTO drive.
Server A : Backup server/Storage Node
Server B : Storage Node
Server C : Storage Node

Three of the servers are grouped into Daily_Full backup group
The DDS operation for above 3 servers should be
"Server A will mount the tape to drive, after finished backup, it unmount
the tape then Server B owns the tape drive and mount the tape for backup
then unmount the tape, Server C then owns the tape drive and mount the tape
then unmount the tape after it's backup completed. Back to Server A to do
indexes backup for server B & C and bootstrap backup"

The problem is after Server A, B & C completed it's own backup. Tape was
unmounted from drive. The operation just idle. The Whole group seem like
hanging. Server A supposes to move a tape in for indexes and bootstrap
backup right, only backup server can backup indexes and bootstrap.

What go wrong ? Any ideas....

Cheers...
Robert
