Try using robtest to manually move the tapes in and out of the drives. If
that works I would guess that your drives are mapped incorrectly.

                Bah, don't know why I didn't see it in syslog.  I was
digging through the veritas
                first expecting local logs.  

                Upon digging I found this though:

                Jan  8 10:46:17 bck1 tldd[674]: DecodeDismount(): TLD(0)
drive 2, Actual status: Robotic dismount failure
                Jan  8 10:46:17 bck1 tldd[674]: TLD(0) drive 2 (device 1) is
being DOWNED, status: Robotic dismount failure
                Jan  8 10:46:17 bck1 tldd[674]: Check integrity of the
drive, drive path, and media
                Jan  8 10:46:34 bck1 avrd[675]: received busy status from
Drive04 (device 3), delay and retry

                Something in the robot isn't happy, what is a "dismount
failure" though?  There
                are no tapes in the drive it was unable to remove, etc.

                Thus spake Peter DrakeUnderkoffler (pcd AT ratgut DOT com):
