Stan,
Yikes...
So your saying an nsrjb to inventory or load hangs? I assume
the sji commands all work...ie sjirdtag returns an accurate
inventory,
sjimm is able to move tapes (indicating a fully working arm). You
didn't say how the drives and arm are connected (SCSI, fiber)?
I would sji commands first, then nsrjb -HEv to reset the library
(assuming it doesn't hang) followed by an inventory. That is on an
idle server.
If you have backups pending that need to complete I would give
Networker
what it wants.. mount all tapes manually until the pending mounts
go away.
Could be anything from lock files in /nsr/tmp to a lus/SAN problem.
Thanks. I ended up killing off all the autostarted jobs that were
waiting for tapes. I did that a few minutes ago. Shut down the NSR
daemons, then cleared out /nsr/tmp of files. Then I rebooted the
server. As soon as I did a "nsrjb -HEv" it all became clear. I think
when our tape library was upgraded, our SE enabled hardware tape
cleaning and its also enabled in NSR's jukebox resource, so I think
there's a conflict. I have to go across campus to inspect this tape
library (its a few blocks from my office) and I suspect I will find
an error on the library's console about failed tape cleaning.
