Yes, the tape is in the drive.  Here's the output of vmoprcmd:

Doesn't look like it has started reading yet...what does your drive status
show?  Is it really mounted?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Help! bpimport taking hours to complete

Hello!  
 
I'm doing a bpimport (NetBackup Enterprise 5.0GA) to import an Ultrium-1
volume.  It seems to be taking a whole lot longer than I expected; still at
phase 1, and 5 hours later, still no cigar.  Activity monitor shows the
job's status as Active. These are the lines in the log:
 
8/13/2004 4:22:14 PM - begin Import
8/13/2004 4:22:14 PM - started process bptm (2408)
8/13/2004 4:22:15 PM - started process bptm (2408)
8/13/2004 4:22:15 PM - mounting 0014L1
 
Is it supposed to take this long?
 
 
Thanks,
 
Jan
