We have recently been experiencing problems with our ATL 2/28 library, and
we have now spotted a pattern. It seems that if we CHECKIN a tape while a
database backup or a process to backup a storage pool is active, the tapes
used by the process cannot be successfully dismounted from the drive(see log
below). The only solution is to manually dismount them and then audit the
library, and in the meanwhile the library is unusable.
We are running on NT4 with ADSM 2.1.12
Has anyone else experienced this???
