Yup, according to the oncall guy, all the tldd's on all the media servers,
except that master, died.

Restarting the daemons did work.

Connectivity is standard 10/100 ethernet. I don't have switch information
but that was a thought I had, that some network fault killed the others.
The master, of course, doesn't really need a network connection to
communicate with itself.  I'm not sure of the way tldd connects with the
master server (or probably the robotic control host, same thing in my case)
and tldd's need to maintain that connection.

Media servers are SSO via SAN to the tape drives.

Everything but the Master Server had the tldd die?

Were you able to stop/restart device management to bring the daemons
back?

What's the connectivity from these media servers to the devices?

Is the Master server different from these media servers? (ie. different
switch)

We had our process monitor complain last night that the tldd daemon on
all
my SSO media servers (v5.1) died within the same 10 minute period.  The
master server, which is also my robot control host, was unaffected.  My
logging isn't very comprehensive for the VM stuff so just a general
question:  Have any of you seen this before or have a good idea why this
might occur?
