You might be able to look in /usr/open/netbackup/db/media/errors file to see 
what types of tape errors have been happening, and when, but I don't think it 
will tell you if the error caused the tape to be frozen or not. You might be 
able to see a pattern to determine if you have a drive going bad or not. The 
R.O.T. on frozen tapes I believe is NBU will freeze it if he kicks it down 
three times (I'm guessing). Perhaps one of the Veritas gurus can elaborate?

Regards,
Dennis

I just ran a media summary report and it listed 41 tapes as frozen.  How
do I find out why?  These tapes were most likely frozen a while back (I
ran the report because my db images were growing faster than expected).

Thanks.
