I need to set up NB to cover 10 servers (7 Linux & 3
Windows). I have not started with the Linux servers, but have configured
the Windows servers. I have a dedicated Backup server, so I am having
everything backup to a directory on that server(disk) and then transferring
that directory to tape. I started testing out my configuration and I can
get the servers to backup to the directory on the Backup server disk, but I can
not get the Backup server to transfer that directory to tape. Here are
the errors I get when I try to do that:
-Error bptm(pid=4004) error requesting media, TpErrno = No
robot daemon or robotics are available
-Warning bptm(pid=4004) media id CMT030 load operation
reported an error
-mounting CMT030
-current media CMT030 complete, requesting next media Any
-current media – complete, awaiting next media Any
Reason: Robotic library is down on server, Media Server:
(server-name), Robot Number: 0, Robot Type: TLD, Media ID: N/A, Drive Name:
N/A, Volume Pool: NetBackup, Storage Unit: (server-name)-dlt, Drive Scan Host:
N/A
The Activity Monitor shows that it is continually trying to mount, but
these errors keep showing. The tape library is connected via SCSI and is
full of tapes.
