I'd upgrade to 5.1MP4 - I doubt it will fix the problem, but its worth a
shot.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backups stuck at tape mount

All,

I've recently upgraded from 4.5MP8 to 5.1MP2.  Master server is a V880
running Solaris 8.  Immediately following the upgrade, all backups hang
at "mounting tape###".

I've looked through the bptm logs and found the following message:

 db_lock_media:unable to lock media at offset (tape###)

In looking through the mail list and the Veritas website, I've found
references that tell me some other process is trying to use that tape.  

What I've done so far:

*  Rebuild the sg drivers
*  Rebuild the globDB (several time)
*  reboot -r the master
*  use robtest to manually mount and unmount tapes - works fine
*  remove the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs directory

Has anyone else come across this?  If so, what else can I try besides
backing out and trying the upgrade again?
