Hi.

 

It's actually RH 7.3, and the MMS can back itself up with no problems. It's
only the client that's having the problem!.

 

Cheers,

 

Adam.

RH9 is currently unsupported.  There's some hacks that have appeared on this
board so search the history.

 

This is also the classic sign of a mis-mapped drive index number on the
media server.  For example, Drive Index 1 on the media server used to be
/dev/rmt/1 and now it's /dev/rmt/2.  Did your devices remap when you
rebooted?

Does anyone know if there are any special steps that need to be taken to
make backups work between a Linux Client and a Solaris Master/Media Server?.
I've installed the client software on the Linux box and rebooted both
systems, but the backup just sits there after loading the tape, as if it's
waiting for the Linux Client to send data to the Master/Media Server.
