Wow -Did I open a can of worms!

I'll call Veritas and open a case with them and reference yours as well.

Thanks for the responses.  I'll also contact NetApp and ask them
about this as well.  NetApp and Veritas are suppose to be working
together now.  We'll see.

Thanks,
John

  <pre wrap="">Hello John

We have been seeing the same type of problem.

We are using a solaris 9 master with netapp 6.4.x .
With the java client running on the master we see drives going away.
&gt;From the windows admin client we see a not-connected message.
But only some of time and not all the drives all the time.

We have the following VERITAS Support: Case ID 280-023-493 opened to see if
we can get a fix for the problem.
If have not already done so, can you open a support case and ref our case.

Regards len

    <pre wrap="">Hello -

I just did a new installation of Netbackup Datacenter 4.5fp3 on
a Solaris 9 Sun Ultra 60.  There is one M2500 robot with 4 LTO1
drives.  One drive is local to NBU, one drive is NDMP to a Netapp
filer, and the other two drives are NDMP to the other Netapp.
OnTap O/S is 6.4.2 and NDMP is set to version 4.

Everything is working.  The NDMP jobs load and finish normally.
However, when the NDMP job is launched, the job detail says it is
connecting, never says "connected".  After about 40 seconds, the
media ID shows up in the Devices list, but after about 3 minutes,
the drive disappears from the Devices list.  It stays gone all during
the job, then it shows back up when the job completes.

Has anyone seen tape devices go away during an NDMP backup, then
re-appear when the job completes?  I installed the latest NDMP fp5
patches, but no fix.

Curious,

John
