I would troubleshoot using robtest to make sure a tape can be loaded in the
drives correctly. I have a similar setup with a Windows master and media
server (4.5FP6 with 4 drives) but the Scsi drives are attached directly to
the NAS device (In my case Netapp Filer).

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NDMP problem

 

Hi All

 

I have a Windows 2003 master server with 4.5 MP6, and two Unix NDMP servers
connected directly via SCSI to a tape library with 4 drives. Each NDMP
server is directly connected to 2 drives via SCSI. When we submit jobs it
mounts the tape, but doesn't go further. We can see the tape mounted, but
NBU doesn't get this back, and simply times out eventually with a media
mount timeout. Should we send through another backup request for the second
host, that job times out with a media open error, but if the first job is
still busy it then senses the tape and starts writing. 

 

Please help me. 

 

Thanks
