  Jon, I always start by checking the =
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/media/errors file.  If you grep on the media ID =
then you can see when the errors happened and what drive they happened =
on. =20

  From there, I will leave the media frozen if it failed in 2 or 3 =
different drives, but if it had three errors on the same drive then I =
will usually unfreeze the media and clean the drive.  If the drive =
continues to show errors then I get it replaced.

  Greetings=20

  I was wondering if I could get some opinions from the group on what to =

  do with media marked frozen my the media manager. I can unfreeze them=20
  and put them pack into circulation, but something caused them to =
become=20
  frozen in the first place. Was it bad media, a failed job, an error in =

  the database? What to you check? Perhaps the frozen media should be=20
  removed from the library? And then what about the images on that tape? =

  What do you typically do when you come across media marked frozen? =
Let's=20
  see if we can get some best practice ideas from the group.=20

  Thanks!=20
