Good Evening,

 

Do you have the tape drive cleaning set for library control or netbackup control.

We found we had problems when netbackup was set to do the cleaning. We found a technote that for the stk (now sun) ACS controlled libraries one must let the library control the cleaning and not netbackup.

I'm seeing the same issue at one site and I'm curious if your drive had a stuck tape, or for some other reason couldn't move the tape from the drive to the home cell?

The problem I see is the tape gets stuck in the drive, cannot be unloaded, which causes NBU to constantly request another mount request all the while the drive never is down'ed. Eventually, acsd rolls over and restarts. This process repeats and acsd is usually only down for 2 or 3 minutes, but on occasion, it is down for a couple of hours. The problem repeats until someone manually removes the tape from the drive. After that, NBU is happy.

Are you seeing anything like this?

[Veritas-bu]  ACS status = 29

 





We are a Netbackup 6.5.3  on Solaris 10 (master and media servers) shop.  Frequently, we have errors dismounting tapes.   /var/adm/messages says "ACS status = 29 STATUS_DRIVE_IN_USE.   The ACSLS  (7.3.0)  (SL8500) log reports 2009-11-08 08:59:03 DISMOUNT[0]:
971 N mt_action_dm.c 1  1272
dm_lh_drive_busy: LH error type = LH_ERR_TRANSPORT_BUSY     Netbackup does not DOWN the drive, and subsequent MOUNT requests fail.   Any thoughts ??   Thanks
