Hello All,
We are using Netbackup 7.7.1 on Linux box with SSO, From last three days I was observing that most of the drives are not working as expected.
We have total of 16 drives. and only 2 of them are functional right now. We dupe the Images from the Primary storage to TL / Tapes, which means drives are engaged only for Duplications
Since the drives functionality is not up the mark, we are experiencing Low free disk space on the Primary storage.
The drives are showing Active and Ready as NO. I checked with nbrbutil command and found that there are some MDS Allocations where the drives show as "Drives= ", So I have release the MDS Allocation with the helpf the nbrbutil command
I still dont see the drives are coming up and working as normal. They dont pick up the tapes automatically.
Initially thought the tape might be stucked in the Drive, so logged into the library and manually moved the tapes to empty slot. After a couple of minuites the drive will be inserted with new tape and that doesnt show up in the NB console / vmoprcmd outputs.
I really need this to be fixed, Suggestions would be greatly apprecitated.
Thanks
