We have come to the same conclusion as you and others have.  We are going to
upgrade the O/S and see what that does for us.  

I will let everyone know if it works or if it is still failing.......

Thanks everyone so far for their inputs.

V/r,

Jimmy

Well we don't seem to have come up with a solution to this. I have never
seen this problem and I have worked in very many NetWorker environments. If
all the relevant pools are set with recycle to and from other pools, and the
volumes in question are recyclable, and they are in a library and
inventoried, then it should work, and it always has done in my experience.
The auto media management issue was a red herring and all we established is
that Legato's technical authors don't know the product as well as the people
on this list.

Clutching at straws, I wonder if it could be anything to do with the fact
that what you are running is incompatible and unsupported? NetWorker 7 is
not compatible with Solaris 2.6, the highest compatible version would be
6.1.4. I know it sounds unlikely that this could be the problem, but it's
possible that NetWorker is making a system call that Solaris 2.6 can't
handle properly. Whether or not this is the cause, you really ought to
upgrade your OS to something that is supported. Other than that, I'm
stumped. This is basic NetWorker functionality that has worked for many
years.
