[Veritas-bu] Number of slots suddenly decreased!

Were you always able to access these other slots?
Sometimes the library manufacturers (STK does this with their timberwolf)
will sell a 15 slot version of their 30 slot library by simply configuring
the library with limiting firmware and / or hardware. If you were able to
see these slots before, then I would get in touch with your hardware folks
first. I wouldn't suspect software right away.

Has anyone ever seen this happen?
During last night's backups, I started seeing errors like this:
07/03/2001 01:24:58 k410ts k410ts media id 000016 is in a DOWN drive,
misplaced, write protected or unmountable;
attempting retry with a different media id
07/03/2001 01:25:00 k410ts k410ts media id 000017 is in a DOWN drive,
misplaced, write protected or unmountable;
attempting retry with a different media id
And so on, up to media id 000025.
I have an ADIC Scalar 100 which has 30 slots. 25 of them have tapes, with
media ids 000001-000025. The front-panel interface on the Scalar 100 still
tells me it has 25 full slots and 5 empty ones, which is correct. But
NetBackup has decided that the device only has 15 slots...
I ran "robtest" and it thinks there are only 15 slots. I can't access
anything in slot 16 or above.
What could have happened? I didn't see anything in Veritas' Support
Knowledge Base. I'm running HP-UX 11.00 (HP9000/800), NetBackup 3.4GA. Any
help would be most welcome.
Thanks!
