Hello Dave,
Is the drive SCSI connected correctly? Also terminated at the end of the
chain.
Funny, just sorted out an identical problem - start a job runs, attempts to
load in drive 1, downs the drive, mounts in drive 2.
My problem was the SCSI Cable BETWEEN the drives. Absolutely nothing wrong
with it from a visual perspective, but after changing the drive, it worked
fine.
Also, has this problem been constant, or has it just recently started to
occur? Have you attempted to try ROBTEST by chance? Does your robotic
library give an indication of a drive problem? Rebooting of the Robot
perhaps?
Regards

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Tape not mounting
Netbackup 4.5mp6 on Soalris 8.
I have 2 LTO drives in my system but a backup just fails to mount a tape in
the first drive and just downs it. I have no idea why and cant see in the
logs. I have log level set to 4 and have been looking in the bptm log but
dont see anything obvious.
There is nothing in the drive also like a stuck tape.
Where do i look to find if the drive is at fault or not?
Some info below taken while the backup had started. The Drive was Up
originally.
