That would mean mixed state.
Most likely you use SSO ( shared storage option) where more than one media 
server can use the same tape drive (though only one at a time).
That mixed means that for one server the drive is up and for another server the 
drive is down.
This can happen if serverA was using the drive - had an issue and downed the 
drive on serverA.
But has serverB which also has access to the drive has not used it yet, so 
serverB has not downed the drive.
To find out which server go to the devices tab on the activity monitor 
(jobs/services/processes/drives)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Red and green arrow shown on a drive in the toplogy 
display

Netbackup 6.5.3

In the topology display in the GUI one of our drives has a circle with a green 
arrow pointing up and a red arrow pointing down. What does this mean? 

I apologize if I'm not explaining something correctly but I just inherited a 
messy netbackup environment and I'm trying to learn my way around. Thanks in 
advance.
