Hi,
I found the following two crontab entries (see below) on our primary
server. I suspect I may have added these a long time ago, but I have no
clue why or what they're really accomplishing, so I have several
questions here. One thing I've noticed, though, and it seems hard to
believe it could related, but on or about 8 AM every darn morning, we
get a SCSI Bus RESET on our storage node server for id 0 which is the
picker (robot) on the attached library. We have tried everything to
resolve this. It seems coincidental that this cron job is running on or
about that same time! We're running an older 6.1.1 release on Solaris
with two Linux RedHat storage nodes.
1. What does placing a new time stamp on the nsrim.prv file do?
2. Do we need these entries? Seems like the second one is doing the
exact same thing except at 3 minutes after 8 pm but skipping Mondays.
Not sure why we ever needed to do that. Could these entries be safely
removed?
3. How or when does the server run nsrim -MX if you don't have these
entries or would there even be any reason to do that under normal
circumstances?
4. Could this be causing some kind of problem with these RESETS?
Thanks,
George
