Stan,

I wish things were that simple. The remaining tape device is terminated.
And all is well from the filers point of view.

My suspcion is that networker over NDMP still thinks there is a drive there
when there isn't.

The Solaris 9/Networker7.1 server controls the jukebox robotics and two
drives. Two drives in the jukebox are connected over SCSI to the NetApp.
Backups for the NetApp are over NDMP.

Last week one of the drives on the NetApp failed. The drive was removed and
the entry in the jukebox for that drive was set to disabled. The entry for
Networker for that drive was also set to disabled (taken out of service mode).

Tried to do backups from the NetApp using the remaining drive but just got
messages about terminating on signal 11 each time the remianing drive was
accessed.


When you removed that tape drive, did you put a SCSI terminator on the
SCSI bus to make up for the missing tape drive? If not, that might
be the cause of your tape drive problem.
