I modified my st.conf to uncomment those lines. The system recognizes the
drives as:

st16:   <Sony AIT>
st16 at pci1000,f2: target 2 lun 0
st16 is /pci@1f,4000/scsi@4/st@2,0
st17:   <Sony AIT>
st17 at pci1000,f2: target 3 lun 0
st17 is /pci@1f,4000/scsi@4/st@3,0
st25:   <Sony AIT>
st25 at pci1000,f3: target 4 lun 0
st25 is /pci@1f,4000/scsi@4,1/st@4,0
st26:   <Sony AIT>
st26 at pci1000,f3: target 5 lun 0
st26 is /pci@1f,4000/scsi@4,1/st@5,0

Now I'm getting a different error when trying to recover the same file.
This time its:

18:31:26 (8638.001) /local/dumps/FRDPROD_frdowner_0713.dmp was not restored.
18:31:28 (8638.002) Status of restore from image created Tue Jul 17 22:01:22
2001 = socket write failed

18:31:28 (8638.002) /local/dumps/FRDPROD_frdowner_0717.dmp was not restored.

18:31:29 (8638.001) Status of restore from image created Fri Jul 13 22:00:46 =
cannot read media header, may not be in NetBackup media or is corrupted.

Do I need to delete my drives and my storage unit and re-create them?

<br>> 1. The backups are of oracle dump files, not live database files.
I'm not

<br>> the Oracle extension. Never got to setting it up correctly since
we

<br>>
<br>> 2. No ner kernel patches were installed recently. My st.conf file
looks
<br>has
<br>> these 2 lines for the AIT drives:

<br>> Two questions

<br>> 1 what are the backups of, Oracle, File system, or NetApp, and if
so did
<br>> you

<br>>

it has not

kernel patches
