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.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] SL500 with NetBackup
6.5.3 - Tapes Remain in drive
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
