Rachel,

The following log entry says ...

Nov 24 11:51:17 nsrserverhost root: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] NetWorker
media: (info) Found the library `pta-L700e' already configured but
disabled!

So then the question is, why? I do not know HP-UX, but if you haven't
checked its system logs, do so. I have a feeling something is wrong at a
hardware level.

Yep, it's Solaris 10 actually!   But we also suspect a hardware failure,
but do not know if it is the emulex hba, the switch, the library or the hand!

Cheers.....

Rachel;

Can you log onto the storage node that has that tape library connected
to
it and see if there are any telltale errors in that system's log files?

There's nothing much in our debug logs at all - this is from a diagnostic

Even after this the system is telling us it is "not ready"......    We
are suspecting a "hand issue" but I have to get someone
onsite to investigate!


Last night, when the hangup happened, there was no details in any of the
logs - it just hangs up :/



Thanks very much for looking.....

Hi,
We have an L700E attached to a Sun T5220, that has mostly been working
OK.

Last week, the system went offline with the error:

39078:nsrjb: RAP error: No jukeboxes are currently usable.

So I killed off the evil NetWorker 7.6.Build.142 software, cleaned out
/nsr/tmp
and restarted with the library coming back "as advertised".

Last night, it decided to ruin my evening by doing it again.

This time, no matter what I do, I cannot get the system online again.


I have rebooted the server/cleared /nsr/tmp and Powered off/IPL the
library several times now.


The system will not come up.     This library is 50Km from where I sit,
so I
cannot just go in and get this checked out easily.   I am getting
someone
to check
the CAP's are closed, but I am certain they are.

No matter what I  try, we always get nsrjb: RAP error: No jukeboxes are
currently usable

Can someone please let me know if they have had a similar issue.

We used to just run nsrjb -HH when this happened but it is not
working for us at all.   No nsrjb commands will pass the RAP error.

So, before I run screaming into the night with this frustrating
problem,
please help!    I can supply info as required but I am totally stuck.


Cheers.
