Hi all
=20
I have had a situation where my master server 's Veritas Volume Manager &=
 file systems licenses expired 3 days back and i  keyed in temporary=
 licenses to bring the server back up.All my file systems came back up=
 fine. But ever since this happened I am not able to eject tapes using the=
 vmchange, vltopmenu and jnbSA all of them complaining that there is no=
 media access port available.jnbSA . How ever a robtest does eject the=
 tapes to the cap. We are using Storagetek L700 Tape library (ACSLS) and=
 are running Netbackup 4.5 at MP2 Solaris 8 being the OS on my master=
 Server.  Veritas suggested making an entry in the vm.conf for the MAP_ID=
 though we just have one cap in the L700 but that didnt seem to help=
 either. Yesterday afternoon i had a situation where in putting in the=
 MAP_ID and bouncing the ltid, resetting my L700 and recycling my fiber=
 scsi routers in the L700 helped eject but something caused my LSM and CAP=
 to go offline.The front panel on my L700 displayed a message saying the=
 CAP as being locked and Service Required.
BTW i have no problems with my backups which i tested on my master server=
 yesterday by intiating a manual backup of a policy that had my master=
 server as one of the backup clients. Not sure if the other client backups=
 work as i havent tested yet.
=20
Veritas first level support is now suggesting me to apply MP3 so that the=
 acs binaries get recreated. I am not willing to do this as the current=
 setup is something that i  had running fine for almost 7 months now.Any=
 ideas/insights or help received will  be grealty appreciated.
=20
Best Regards
