Re: [Networker] Unload failures with ADIC Scalar 1000 (DLT8000) on SAN using DDS
2003-11-16 21:00:43
Hi John,
try unloading the tape drives with "nsrjb -uv" before running the reset
- since about v6.1.3 (maybe v6.1.1) I've seen this problem where tape
drives are not properly put offline before Networker tries to unload
them during a reset operation (are you also seeing the "move medium"
message on the S1000's LCD panel at the same time?).
You can put them offline yourself by using "mt -f /dev/rmt/0cbn offline"
on the storage node.
Cheers,
John
PS - Go the Wallabies!
