Although the spec is the same, do any of the netbackup logs show why
compression may not be running?

Tape Library: IBM 3584 partitioned into production and test environment

Operating System:  Solaris 9, Windows 2003, HP-UX 11i

Netbackup: 5.1 mp3

=0D

Just upgraded from STK L700E LTO-1 library to a IBM 3584 LTO-2 library

All of a sudden tape compression is not working on any flavor media server,
but only in production. Our test environment is compressing data at a
hardware level just fine.  Same OS, same NBU release, same Tape library,
same tape drive drivers, same HBA cards, same firmware, same st.conf file=
 on
the Sun systems.


Can anyone think of what we might be missing that would cause the=
 production
environment not to be using hardware compression while the test environment
is?
