The error "inventory failed: unable to open robotic path" is very generic in
that it basicly can be anything. 

 

First thing I would try is to update the driver for the library from the
vendor. And after that try to check if Veritas has a driver for your
library.

I have a single W3k server as the master connected via Adaptec 39160 SCSI
adapter to a Qualstar 46120 Robotic tape library.  If the server reboots for
whatever reason - it appears Netbackup loses the path to the Robot.  The OS
itself appears to be fine - the Robot, tape drives and scsi adapters all
appear in Device Manager.  When I run  "Configure Storage Devices" in
Netbackup - it recognizes the tape drives (as stand-alone) but not the Robot
itself.  If I go into Device Manager and blow away the tape drives and Robot
and reboot - Netbackup will then see the robot when I run "Configure Storage
Devices".  I assume this is related to the SCSI path changing and Netbackup
not being able to handle it.  If I run "tpconfig - l" it reports 6 tape
drives with a status of "up" and it reports the tape library with a status
of "-".  Is there a work around for this - or any way to configure it so
that the SCSI path does not change? 

 

Thanks,

 

Greg
