Really appreciate your answers here,Marianne. In fact these tapes (TAPE1,
....., TAPE10 ) have been running for some time and frequently freeze and
status code 96 appear. So I manually took out all those 11 tapes from the
library manually and replaced with the new tapes which are same bar code (
TAPE1,..., TAPE11 ). Then after some day later, those TAPE1,...,TAPE10 were
totally dissappear from the "bpmedialist" and all bkp jobs belongs to them were
not able bkp.When I chk, I noticed "mounting TAPE1,....,TAPE11 " in the job
status and never see the "mounted TAPE1,.....,TAPE11" in order to run the job.
So the job is pending " mounting TAPE1,....., TAPE11" for long hours and never
proceed to "mounted TAPE1,...,TAPE11" stage.
The problem is within this "PLUTO_LTO" volume pool.
( 1 ) Is this changing TAPE1, .. ,TAPE11 could be the problem?
( 2 ) I changed back the orignial TAPE1,...,TAPE11 and bpmedialist still never
show these tapes. Should I change back the blank tapes with same bar code and
same media ID tapes to the library ?
( 3 ) Now i temporarily stopped backing up these servers. Should I restart
these bkp jobs using original TAPES or NEW TAPES with same bar code and same
media ID?
Many Thanks Marianne. Besides this TAPE11 , all other tapes have no expire date
in the vmquery.
