I suspend the restore then resume it in the NBU Admin Console and it will
re-issue the mount.

You can show the pending requests for the job with "vmoprcmd -d pr" which
should show it holding on the newly inserted tape. You can then resubmit
the tape request with "vmoprcmd -resubmit <req_id>" and it'll take off.
The GUI can do this too.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restore: Putting required tapes w/o needing to
redo the restore
Hello,
I'm using NetBackup 5.0 on Solaris 9 with a robotic device.
When I do a restore procedure ('bpadm', then 'u', 'r', 'b'),
I select the files, and initiate the restore.
Then I quit the interface and look at the logfile, and if
it requests for a tape that is not in the robotic device, then
I mount it, update the MM database so it sees the new tape(s).
However, the active job seems locked and does not
automatically pick the required tape even though it is in
the robot and the MM database is already updated.
Now I have to cancel that job, and go back in the interface
to select the same files and initiate a new restore job.
Is there a better way to do this? Either being able to
suspend the job and resume it when the tapes are ready,
or restarting the same job once tapes are ready, or making
the job automatically detect the required tapes when they
become available?
Thanks for any information.
Louis-Luc
