Chris,

How is the drive connected? Is it a SAN or connected via cables, etc.?
Are you talking about the drives going down on the Master server or a
Media server? Is it Windows or Unix?


Cheers,

Tim

Subject: [Spam Detected] [Veritas-bu] drive is going down

I have veritas netbackup 6.0 MP3 installed, and I have two LTO-3 tape
drives, one of them is going down very often, the other one does go down
every now and then but not that often... I downloaded a script that
someone wrote (forgot his
name) that detects when drive is down and it attempts to bring it up. So
far after I started it at around 5pm I got like 20 messages that drive
was down... 
what would cause drive to be brought down? Is there any settings in
netbackup not to bring tape drives down? I mean if I can bring it up
there is no physical problem... how can I find out what brings those
drives down?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Chris
