Hello Lee Anne

We saw this problem with an hp/ux system and oracle backups using sso. 
Are you using any tape drive sharing?

Yesterday I patched the last of my servers to 341_3A. It just happened to be 
the SQL Server 2000 server that I'd saved til last because I expected it to be 
trouble, and big trouble it is.

Last night most of my backups failed. Of my file/print servers, the only ones 
to complete were the four servers that were the first to multiplex onto two 
tapes. All other backup attempts resulted in frozen tapes due to unrecognised 
media. My exchange duplications from disk had the same result.

The errors:

Block read is not a NetBackup media header len = 1024, media ID DSR107, drive 
index 0, data is unknown
Non NetBackup media found in drive index 0, FREEZING DSR107

My SQL backups never managed to write anything to tape before freezing it. 
Trying to back up to a local DLT drive has also failed on this server, for the 
first time.

Of course, this would be when I find out that my Veritas support contract was 
cancelled due to miscommunication... So please, any suggestions while I wait 
for its reinstatement? I'm almost to the point of uninstalling the NetBackup 
client on the SQL Server, but not having set it up to begin with, I'm not sure 
how long it will take to reinstall and get working again.

Thanks,
