The mt status showing no tape can mean the tape is ejected, but still in
the drive - have u tried moving the UNKNOWN tape from the drive using
robtest? m d3 s?? ? I suspect that will work (and the library just wasnt
able to read the barcode for these tapes). If it doesnt then you probably
have a hardware fault.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] drives showing UNKNOWN
Netbackup 5.0 mp5s2 on solaris 8 connected to L1000 with 4 DLT7000
drives in.
Has anyone seen it where robtest shows drive with barcode UNKNOWN, yet
there are no tapes in the drive?
Invoking robotic test utility:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tldtest -r /dev/sg/c3t0l0 -d1 /dev/rmt/0cbn -d2
/dev/rmt/1cbn -d3 /dev/rmt/2cbn -d4 /dev/rmt/3cbn
Opening /dev/sg/c3t0l0
MODE_SENSE complete
Enter tld commands (? returns help information)
s d
drive 1 (addr 128) access = 1 Contains Cartridge = no
SCSI ID from drive 1 is 2
drive 2 (addr 129) access = 1 Contains Cartridge = no
SCSI ID from drive 2 is 3
drive 3 (addr 130) access = 1 Contains Cartridge = yes
Barcode = UNKNOWN
SCSI ID from drive 3 is 4
drive 4 (addr 131) access = 1 Contains Cartridge = yes
Barcode = UNKNOWN
SCSI ID from drive 4 is 5
READ_ELEMENT_STATUS complete
The drives keep going down if i up them and a job tries to use them.
I currently have them in a down state. The drives are flashing, but the
akibia support after not responding for ages are trying to say its a
netbackup problem as mt -f /dev/rmt/2cbn status shows there is no tape
loaded. ( which it wouldnt because there isnt one )
# for d in 0 1 2 3; do mt -f /dev/rmt/$d'cbn' status; done
/dev/rmt/0cbn: no tape loaded or drive offline
/dev/rmt/1cbn: no tape loaded or drive offline
/dev/rmt/2cbn: no tape loaded or drive offline
/dev/rmt/3cbn: no tape loaded or drive offline
I am thinking the drives are goosed and robtest cannot talk to them to
get a clear picture. Is this on the right track?
Anyone any ideas?
