Hello,
I'm using NetBackup 5.0 on Solaris 9 with a robotic device.
When I do a restore procedure ('bpadm', then 'u', 'r', 'b'),
I select the files, and initiate the restore.
Then I quit the interface and look at the logfile, and if
it requests for a tape that is not in the robotic device, then
I mount it, update the MM database so it sees the new tape(s).
However, the active job seems locked and does not
automatically pick the required tape even though it is in
the robot and the MM database is already updated.
Now I have to cancel that job, and go back in the interface
to select the same files and initiate a new restore job.
Is there a better way to do this? Either being able to
suspend the job and resume it when the tapes are ready,
or restarting the same job once tapes are ready, or making
the job automatically detect the required tapes when they
become available?
Thanks for any information.
Louis-Luc
