I believe I've seen this before. You didn't by chance re-use these tapes from
somewhere else or convert from one system to a new one did you? The reason I
ask is, if you've done that and haven't set up the ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE
parameters to overwrite the tapes that may be coming from another system, you
might see this error. I worked for a short period on an NDMP setup with a Net
App Filer and this is what we ran into. You might check other logs entries and
look for something along those lines.
Hope this is useful
Regards,
Dennis

Here is a sample of the error that I get from the logs:
05/30/2001 12:47:29 inktomi-fast netapp0 media id 000013 is in a DOWN
drive, misplaced, write protected or unmountable; attempting retry with a
different media id
I know that the tapes are not write protected and I know the drives are up.
I just keeps trying different media over and over and over. What do I need
to do here? Is this the way pools are setup possibly?
Thanks,

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Continuous mounting of tapes with no backup.
Grrrr!
I have an environment that consist of NetApp Filers connected directy to a
Spectra Logic Gator via fiber channel backing up via NDMP. When a backup
starts Veritas just keeps mounting different tapes and never backs up the
filer. While viewing the job monitor you just see where it just continues
to mount one tape after another nonstop until the backup window ends...
Anyone have *any* suggestions?
