Hi,

First use vmoprcmd –reset <drive index>. This will unload the drive and move it to the right place.

If vmoprcmd fail you can use robtest.

Robtest cut the connection between the library and netbackup but if you do not forget it open, netbackup will queue all commands and send it when the connection reestablish. The drives will not go into AVR mode if you do one move at a robtest session.

 

Check the system messages of the robotic controller and see if netbackup send the move commands to the library after the backup. (you may have to start the ltid with –v.

 

 

 

 

All
Anyone got one of these so called enterprise robots?
Have to admit, I am finding this to be a poor mans choice of a Tape Robotic solution, especially after coming from an Enterprise ESL !

Occasionly, tapes remain in the drive. no errors are logged in system, application, or bptm logs.

Everything looks fine. On the RARE occasion, if this happened on the ESL, I can use Command View to move tape back to its own location, or from the front end panel!

Great stuff! With this device... nowt !!! Even the Java GUI seems poor!

I could try with RobTest, but do not want to try with backups running !

Any other ideas? Feedback would be grateful especially those that have this device..... after all it could just be my feelings that the SL500 is bad, but others may view it as good!

 

Regards

Simon
