Hi folks,

This is a serious problem, my New environment running on Solaris 10 with 
Networker power edition 7.3
We have 10 pools. Each pool has it own number of tapes and some of them just 
0.1% full

The backup stuck with below messages

Aug 23 18:41:14 sabakap1 root: [ID 702911 local0.alert] Sun StorEdge(TM) 
Enterprise Backup media: (waiting) Waiting for 1 writable
volumes to backup pool 'saspmdb' tape(s) on sabakap1

08/23/06 18:41:24 nsrd: media info: Suggest manually labeling a new writable 
volume for pool 'saspmdb'

Is this a bug ? as I can see nsrd try to load the volume to the pool, but 
somehow cannot find an available nsrmmd service for
operation on device .... My volume only 0.1% full and belong to this pool. Why 
nsrmmd service no doing it's work. What is going
wrong ?

All my schedule backup just stuck and always "Suggest manually labelling a new 
writable volume for pool xxxx". Once I manually mount
the tape, the backup started. Networker should NOT work in such a way u need to 
manually mount the tape for a backup to kick-off.

So I said this is a major problem in Networker. Any other suggestion ? 
EMC/Legato are your solving this problem ?
