I am seeing a weird activity
Im running netbackup 3.2 on solaris 8 with an L1000 unit attached

I have various classes and schedules set up which all seem to work ok =
but im am seeing more and more error 96 no media to assign which is fine =
if there is none, but when I look I see plenty of scratch in the jukebox =
which is odd.
It seems that tapes from scratch are not being taken and changed to the =
pool required but at times they might be.

I have no frozen tapes and no down drives although bperror -U -media =
shows reports :-

1052446020 1 132 8 tpf-pbs1 19280 0 0 tpf-pas3 bptm media id DBQ856 is =
in a DOWN drive, misplaced, or unmountable; attempting retry with =
different media id
1052446164 1 132 8 tpf-pbs1 19280 0 0 tpf-pas3 bptm media id DBQ838 is =

different media id

Anyone seen anything like this? or have any idea why scratch may not be =
used ?

I have an auto-sratch script which runs and places all deassigned media =
into scratch pool each day too so there should be scratch.
