There's no specific reason to clear this, so NetWorker doesn't bother.  If the 
tape was made available after the recover was interrupted, NW would simply load 
the tape and do nothing with it.  If another request comes in for a tape which 
*is* available, NW will mount this instead.  
 
I don't think there's a way to clear it faster other than loading the volume 
though.  Without checking, I'm pretty sure that this is internal to NetWorker, 
which will cycle through the "media waiting" and "media waiting: critical" 
states before checking again and figuring out that it doesn't actually need the 
tape any more.  
 
Just a cosmetic problem AFAIC.  I think there are other things which actually 
need the time invested to fix them.
 
Cheers,
 
Stuart.

Subject: [Networker] nsrck -L7



I was attempting to rstore a client index using nsrck -L7 and it told me
that it was waiting for a tape.
I cancelled out using ctrl + c   (the tape is offsite)
I then proceeded to do it again for another client index and it again was
asking for a tape.
I again cancelled out using a ctrl + c  (this tape is offsite also)

The request for the 1st tape it was looking for finally cleared after 30
minutes.  The second request also cleared after 30 minutes.

I am running Windows 2003 - Networker 7.2.1

How can I clear the tape request out sooner than 30 mintues?  I would like
it to clear the tape mount request when I ctrl + c.

Thanks,

Kathleen
