Try mounting a tape manually using nsrjb -lv <TAPEID>. One of three things
will happen:
1. It will fail. In that case, since you used the "verbose" option you
should have enough information to troubleshoot the problem.
2. It will work. Repeat until all outstanding tape mounts are satisfied.
You'll have to continue mounting tapes manually until the next time you have
a chance to stop/start NetWorker.
3. Sometimes after you do this once -- or enough times to satisfy all
pending mount requests -- NetWorker will take the hint and resume automatic
tape mounts. I don't know why it breaks or why mounting tapes manually fixes
it, but it does.
You might want to consider upgrading to a later version. This problem is
very rare on 7.2.x and probably nonexistent on 7.3 and beyond. However, I
don't know which versions are available for TRU64.
Good luck!
