Hello,
We are attempting to use Netapp VTL with Networker server 7.3.2 on
Windows, the issue is that the VTL based Tapes often seems to get out of
wack, showing incorrect labels, barcodes slots etc as well as cloning
seems to get stuck ( we are using auto group cloning), the group would
finish and then the cloning gets stuck ? No errors?
I would imagine for the VTL based netapp emulated VTL lib we should turn
off barcodes, barcode reader and perhaps verify Tape on unload, what about
timers, any other special config consideration which should differ from
Physical lib ( we already distinguish between VTL and Adic by selecting
different drive emulation), any suggestions, usually, nsrjb -HEIvv gets
the slots back in sync.
Any further suggestions ? any body using scripts to check if auto cloning
worked as expected, what is the work around for stuck group & clients,
failures, how do we ensure every VTL tape is being cloned ?
Thanks
