 From what I understand the tape devices are not connected to the ndmp

Check the tape drives in networker. Readd the user and password. Make

sure the NDMP is checked off. Make sure CDI is not used. If the 5drivesare indeed connected to the ndmp filer then the sysconfig -t shouldgiveyou the address you need to define and I would try the re-addingthe the

user name and password.

If this is a netapp filer I found that every time you library or tape
san goes down the fiber card that the drives are connected to on the
filer needs to be forced offline and online. You normally have to go
into priv set advanced and force the adapter offline and back online.

Let me know if you need the commands to do this.

Edward; your understanding is accurate. Initially, I did have anincorrect userid in the storage node for this, but I corrected ithours ago and the problem still persists. I also have CDI disabledfor each of the NDMP drives and the tape library in the storage nodessection of NMC is set to SCSI, not NDMP since its mixed use betweenSCSI and NDMP devices, which is how it was set prior to my server'sdisk array bailing out on me.
