We are having intermittent errors on our ndmp backups. Also, one of the
tape drives write disables itself. If I go into Networker and re-enable it
to write, and if I then go into Networker and restart the same backup, it
runs fine with no errors.
I have already tried increasing the eject/load/sleep times to 180 - with
no change.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks
Barb

Our main backup server is HPUX 11.i
which has 2 tape libraries attached
1 Quantum ATL superloader & 1 HP Storageworks MSL 5000 series

We have 2 NetApp filers which are clustered, both F820s
We have an HP Storageworks MSL 5000 series tape library attached to the
main filer, to which the NDMP backups are written. The indexes are then
written to the tape libraries attached to the HPUX server.

Here is the error message;
