Your tapes had been written to with a fixed block, NetBackup expects =
Variable blocks, Solaris 2.6 by default uses fixed blocks on tapes, thus =
by editing the st.conf you have now forced it into using variable, so it =
doesn't recognize the tapes. =20
If you change your st.conf back and boot -r then the error should change =
back.
At any rate you need to get the touch file that makes NetBackup use =
Fixed Blocks, and I know it exists, you just need to ask the support =
guys to escalate the call, the Media Manager guru's know about it, that =
should fix your problem for the time being, however you need to set that =
for restores, freeze all your tapes till they expire, remove it before =
backups and bplabel your tapes as they come off retention. =20
All while using the new updated st.conf.
