Good sugestions so far but check the basics, too.  I remember a recent
posting where there was a lost entry in vm.conf.
 
Check for a valid scratch pool defination with "vmpool -listscratch".  Check
that your scratch tapes in in that pool, remember that the pool name is case
sensitive.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] error 96 but have scratch


I am seeing a weird activity
Im running netbackup 3.2 on solaris 8 with an L1000 unit attached
 
I have various classes and schedules set up which all seem to work ok but im
am seeing more and more error 96 no media to assign which is fine if there
is none, but when I look I see plenty of scratch in the jukebox which is
odd.
It seems that tapes from scratch are not being taken and changed to the pool
required but at times they might be.
 
I have no frozen tapes and no down drives although bperror -U -media shows
reports :-
 
1052446020 1 132 8 tpf-pbs1 19280 0 0 tpf-pas3 bptm media id DBQ856 is in a
DOWN drive, misplaced, or unmountable; attempting retry with different media

id
1052446312 1 132 8 tpf-pbs1 19280 0 0 tpf-pas3 bptm media id DBQ883 is in a

id

Anyone seen anything like this? or have any idea why scratch may not be used
?
 
I have an auto-sratch script which runs and places all deassigned media into
scratch pool each day too so there should be scratch.
