Hello,
We continue having problems with Legato 7.1.2 and 'Default' pool problems.
Some days Legato doesn't finish the backup and it asks for tapes in the
'Default' pool.
We've arrived to the conclusion that this happens when Legato has some
connectivity problems with the clients (due to different things, network,
DNS, etc.).
Today, only 1 machine in the group hasn't finished the backup. I've stopped
the group. I've used 'nsradmin -s machine -v1 -p390113' to see if we have
connectivity with the daemon running in the client. I've found this
connection a lot more slow than other clients. I've login into this machine
and restarted NetWorker (/etc/init.d/networker stop + start). Then, nsradmin
was connecting faster than before. I've restarted the backup and it finished
properly, without asking for tapes in the 'Default' pool.
I would like to know why Legato asks for tapes in the 'Default' pool:
a) if it has 4 tapes that can be used (the 2 into drives, one at 94% at the
other at 70%; and 2 that can be recicled)?

b) only when it has problems when some machine (we detected the problem
asking for 'Default' tapes some days before when we had DNS problems and
Legato can't contact, resolve a lot of name machines)?

Any idea about what the problem is?
Thank you very much!
