Re: [Veritas-bu] Shared drive problem

Has the same issue recently

6.5.2a on aix master and aix media. Plus 2 windows San Media

I had to reboot both the master and the media server, once up I bounced netbackup on the master again. And then it worked.

They think the issue for me was because I had my disk drives and my tape drives on the same FC adapter ( IBM does not support this and is recommended)

I am working on changing that… but right now I don’t have the issue. (even though they are still both on the same adapter)

Hi,

Hoping someone can help me. We've got a new system recently put in, its been fine until recently - had to reboot the media servers and have had a problem since then. We've got an AIX master ( no tapes) a W2K3 Media ( also a VCB server) and an AIX media server , all with NBU 6.5.2a installed. After rebooting the first media server to run gets a tape drive no problem and subsequent jobs run ok. On the other media server the first job sits there with a status of 'waiting for shared tape drive scan to stop'

Any ideas?

TIA

Gary
