You just described the GUI way to do what I've already done, which was
use grep(1) on the bptm logs.
Just for giggles, I did try it, and I find the same absence of
notification for the freezing of these volsers.
At this point it's
an academic question for me, as I've tracked down the logs of write
errors specific to the volsers in question (which do appear both in the
bptm logs and in the Media Logs section of Reports, but they're a less
recognizable pin to find in either haystack), but I still want to understand
where the old "FREEZING media ID xxxxxx because it has had N write failures in M
hours" messages went.
Any other
ideas?
And, just to be
crystal clear here, I'm not asking how to do this with the GUI. I am asking
where messages, previously logged under /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bptm, are
currently logged. No personal offense intended, but if you can't answer that
question, then it's probably better for you to leave this one
alone.

I take it the reports->media logs is what you want either? Filter
on description containing frozen.

Scott, I think you missed the point of my question. You just told
me how to find the output of bpmedialist in the GUI (which I knew, and
also don't care about).
I
know which tapes are frozen and I know exactly where they are. I'm looking
for log files from the process that froze them which, under NBU 5.x and
below, was always bptm (when freezing occured during the course of normal
backups or duplications).
In
this case, I have 3 tapes frozen and no record in the bptm
logs.

Gabriel,
You can now see it in the GUI/JAVA console interface along with the
traditional command line filtering.. Look under Media and Device
Management, Media, Robots. Under layout there is "Media Status" that
can be shown that will give you the status. You can filter, sort and
what I was pleased to find, the ability to "freeze or unfreeze" the
media from the GUI.

>>> Is there a shiny new additional location to go rooting for
the cause when media is frozen under 6.x? (Specifically: 6.5.1 on
HP-UX.) I know that the bptm logs still get this some of the time,
but I've got three tapes frozen in the last week (I think, all at the
same time because of a robot failure, but I wasn't in town, so I want
to be certain) and nary a mention of any in bptm's logs. Is this
now buried in that vxul mess somewhere? -- gabriel
