An earlier posting, though, I was searching for why we have a drive go
down and then, after I up it, have it go quickly down again. I have to
reboot the server to clear down drives about every other week.
1. Have you checked the FSC error codes?
2. Have you checked /usr/openv/netbackup/db/error?
3. When that happens for us:
a. Tape drive, check to make sure it is OK.
b. Fiber cable.
c. Fiber card (not using a SAN fabric).
d. Backplane for tape drive for robot.
e. Replace drive usually resolves the problem.
Justin.
