[Veritas-bu] The drive is not ready or inoperable

Make sure none of the other servers it's shared with are using the drive, then 
bounce the daemons on the Windows server you're having problems with. It should 
come up okay. You shouldn't have to reboot it unless it's an OS issue with the 
drive (as opposed to a NetBackup issue). 

Gotta love Windows.

Does anyone know how to overcome this message? It occurs when I have to reboot 
a windows media server while there are tape is a shared drives being used by 
other media servers. This is getting to be a real pain in the ... The only way 
I've gotten around it before was to unload all the tape drives and reboot the 
server again. DOG, I LOVE WINDOWS!
