Re: [Veritas-bu] Tape drive monitoring?

For that specific issue you can monitor messages on your robot control host for something about the robot going offline or losing connection. If you look you should be able to still see it, assuming it hasn't rolled out.
When it comes back online you'll have something like Robot Going to UP state show up as well.

Subject	[Veritas-bu] Tape drive monitoring?

Greetings all,

We are currently running NBU 6.5.3 on Solaris 10, and experienced an issue where all of our tape drives on our StorageTek L700 went into AVR mode this past weekend. Can someone give me some insight on how I can monitor the tape drives to notify me when this happens again? Are there scripts out there which I can use, or something in NBU which I can enable?

Thanks,
