Re: [Veritas-bu] Tape drive is assigned with a tape loaded ...Yet no tap

Check on the netapp side, what does it report. Does it show the tape drive as in use. Is there an active ndmp job using the tape drive.

Try the storage show tape command

And the sysconfig –t command

Try the ndmpd status and session kill commands

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Tape drive is assigned with a tape loaded ...Yet no tape in the tape drive...

Master = NetBackup-Solaris9 6.0MP6

Tape drive is attached to NetApp Filer... And is controlled from the Master...

Tape drive shows in vmoprcmd that it has a tape loaded... And bpdbjobs shows a job associated
with that tape drive...

Yet nothing is running and has been hung out there for a bit...

I attempt to resetbyname and get the following:

"Drive is currently assigned"

And also I cannot kill the jobs......

Is there a way to clear this up?

Thanks.....
