Jon, I always start by checking the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/media/errors
file. If you grep on the media ID then you can see when the errors happened
and what drive they happened on.
>From there, I will leave the media frozen if it failed in 2 or 3 different
drives, but if it had three errors on the same drive then I will usually
unfreeze the media and clean the drive. If the drive continues to show
errors then I get it replaced.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Frozen media -- what to do?
Greetings
I was wondering if I could get some opinions from the group on what to
do with media marked frozen my the media manager. I can unfreeze them
and put them pack into circulation, but something caused them to become
frozen in the first place. Was it bad media, a failed job, an error in
the database? What to you check? Perhaps the frozen media should be
removed from the library? And then what about the images on that tape?
What do you typically do when you come across media marked frozen? Let's
see if we can get some best practice ideas from the group.
Thanks!
