Is this a random error?
We just opened a call with Support on this same issue.
It only occurs after a weekend of fulls, different drives
each weekend, and only a manual reset of the drives will
unload the tapes. mt and robtest do not see a tape loaded.
AIT tape drives (started with AIT-1 and we recently upgraded to AIT-2).
Error code on the drives is "Flashing Code 1" (Waiting for eject)
Was also happening before we upgraded to 3.4...

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Tapes not unmounting after completion of backups
I have a situation where tapes are not un-mounting following a failure or
completion of a backup. Another backup will kick-off requesting the tape
that is still mounted and eventually time-out and fail. I have two
questions; 1) Is there a configuration parameter that can be set to force a
backup to look for another tape if it can't find the one it's looking for?
2) How can one remotely force the tapes to un-mount and be returned to
their proper slot? I have unsuccessfully attempted this feat with robtest.
Thanks,
Terry
