Hi All
I have some backups that are staged from virtual tape library ( virtual tape is 
disk ) to LTO3 tapes . My LTO3 library has no drives attached to the main 
server ( which is server.zone1)
They are attached to storage-node2.zone1.

 When I try to restore from those LTO3 tapes (using nwrecover or recover) 
networker knows which tape they are on and mounts the tape. I then get ready 
for reading, idle and it stops.

If I try to restore to other hosts from a tape drive directly attached to  
server.zone1 ( which is where all the indexes etc are stored) then the files 
restore no problem.

I thought this was a permissions issue, because I have seen it before and when 
I fixed the permissions on that occasion I could restore ok. But I have ensured 
that all permissions are correct.
So then I supposed the firewall must be blocking the transfer ,so I had port 
7940 opened on the remote host as 7937 -7939 are open on the host that I am 
trying to restore to.

This should allow for packets from any host in the  ip address range of the 
host which the LTO3 library is attached to , to come though  the firewall.

But this has not fixed the issue.

I suppose I can detach one of the drives and attach to my main server , but has 
anyone else solved this problem with ready for reading, idle by changing 
firewall settings. ?

Thanks
