Hello All. I would like to say thank you at the start of this email for all of
the help.
I am running NBU 3.4 DC under Solaris 7, with a SpectraLogics 64000 that has 8
AIT2 TapeDrives.
We are in the process of re-building a Oracle Database Server that we backup via
Oracle Dump files and when I do the restore it is only getting a partial
completion. It gives a media error.
To be safe I tried a different system that does the same type of Oracle Backup
and
I have the Exact same problem.
I have been going around the web and newsgroups finding different information
from
AIT strings in st.conf to fix vs. variable block writes.
I have put at the bottom of this email the errors that I have received in my
/var/adm/messages file and also the info that I have found. I am hoping that
someone out there has had this problem and can help me shed some light on what
path I should take.
/var/adm/messages errors:

Current st.conf:
"SONY SDK-500C", "SONY AIT-2 8mm", "SONY_AIT";
SONY_AIT = 1,0x34,0,0x3d639,1,0x30,0;
WebPage Info for AIT on E450 st.conf file:
"SONY SDX-500C", "Sony AIT2 8mm", "SONY_TAPE";
SONY_TAPE = 1,0x34,0,0x1639,4,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,3;
Info from Newsgroup:
Your tapes had been written to with a fixed block, NetBackup expects =
Variable blocks, Solaris 2.6 by default uses fixed blocks on tapes, thus =
by editing the st.conf you have now forced it into using variable, so it =
doesn't recognize the tapes. =20
If you change your st.conf back and boot -r then the error should change =
back.
At any rate you need to get the touch file that makes NetBackup use =
Fixed Blocks, and I know it exists, you just need to ask the support =
guys to escalate the call, the Media Manager guru's know about it, that =
should fix your problem for the time being, however you need to set that =
for restores, freeze all your tapes till they expire, remove it before =
backups and bplabel your tapes as they come off retention. =20
All while using the new updated st.conf.
