We have a dedicated media server built on an AMD box running RHEL 5.2 (2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 4 03:51:21 EDT 2008 x86_64). Over time, our LTO2 drives will go down one by one. A "scan" does

What does tpclean -L say? Have they ever stayed up in the past? Do you have a fiber switched environment? Justin. _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu AT m

Interesting - I never thought of tpclean. tpclean shows two in "need cleaning" status but, as I have one drive down now, there's no correlation with the down drive. lto2 are scsi drives connected via

Hi, Same here... but it has happened twice a year only.. and the solution is only to restart the Redhat 4 server. Once restarted the server it is back to normal. With Warm Regards =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Oh dear, I'm beginning to feel a bit bad, we had same problem and we made Sun/StorageTek replace the (LTO4) drive - I hope we did the right thing! ... mind you, haven't had the problem since. +-- +--
We had this problem with 6.5. With previous NBU versions we had only the make_scsi_dev problem We Change from Linux to Solaris x86_64 before one month and now I remember Linux media servers only as a

One drive may easily have needed cleaning for longer... or are you saying the two that advertise that are a disjoint set from the one that's down? What do you see in /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bptm/lo
What do you see in /var/log/messages when you try to up the drives? What do you see in /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bptm/log.MMDDYY and in /var/log/messages when the drives are downed of their own acco

The two that say they need cleaning are different than the ones that are down. There's no correlation there. I just put in 6.5.3 yesterday so maybe the behavior will change (from 6.5.2). I'm short lo

Not yet - I'm mixed version for NB across the enterprise - I thought I'd stablize on one version before I involve RH. From: Andrew White [mailto:adwhite AT inchix DOT net] Sent: Thursday, January 29,

I'm about to configure a new NBU environment using RHEL5 (master & media server) so this is of some interest to me too. However, I'll be using a VTL to emulate LTO-4. The one thing that caught my eye

Well, the odd thing is that only the Linux box does this. The 17 other AIX media servers and the 1 solaris media server (slow transition) don't have this problem at all. --Original Message-- From: ve
My 2 cents. Not linux but AIX I upgraded my dr to 6.5.3 yesterday and had issues with 1 of the tape drives. Had to have the san guy reset the port and I logged into the robot and reset the drive... b
Just to add another perspective : We have been running an RHEL4 master and severn RHEL4 and RHEL5 media servers for over a year. It has gone through 6.5.1 to 6.5.2 and now 6.5.3. There is also a Win2
