Answer: Not very well. It seems to fixate on a particular tape and
continue to try to label it until... well until someone stops it.
I've had networker select a tape that is write-protected and will continuously keep sending out alerts until a tape is manually labelled and mounted.
Same here.
I'm using auto media management.
It is still a problem even if you are not. It can be trying to relabel a
recyclable tape that has been write-protected by accident or through
ignorance and you will see the same problem.
I realize that it's possible to select a tape that is write-protected but why
can't it simply get another tape ?
What version of NetWorker are you using? I see this anal behaviour at
7.2.1, I did wonder if perhaps it had been improved at a later version,
or am I being naive? Looks like an RFE is required.
