Subject: [Veritas-bu] SCSI reserves on SSO windows drives
Not sure if anyone can help
it, but i have a most annoying problem with SSO windows drives and reservation
conflicts.
I have 8 IBM Ultrium 2 drives
that are shared between 10 windows media servers (2000+2003). Backups can work
fine for a few days and then 'RESERVATION CONFLICTS' appear. Occassionally
vmoprcmd -crawlreleasebyname will release the reserve but more often than not a
trip to the datacentres and a physical reset of drive is the only recourse to
break the reserve.
Drives are all same firmware
revision and tape drivers are all IBM 6.1.3.5. Netbackup 5.1 MP6, it's legacy
but no current path to upgrade so i'm stuck for a while.
Does anyone know where i
should be looking to identifying what's placing this reservation, it's not
Netbackup i don't think? Or is there anything i can do to reduce the
reserves?
