Ready; no idle drive are available when trying to unlock a library
Since upgrading from 9.1 to 10d(Rev 5629 with latest Veritas Device Drivers), I have been unable to unlock the library when all the tapes have been used and the backup job is waiting for new tapes to be inserted.
I have a situation where the library will not hold as many tapes as the job requires.
When all the tapes have been used , the job waits for another tape to be inserted. I then have to unlock the library and change the tapes.
Since the upgrade, the unlock job states that it´s 'ready; no idle drives are available', even if it started with the highest priority.
This worked great with 9.1. Is there a setting I can use to unlock the library so I can access the magazine?
My configuration:
Windows 2003 Server
Veritas 10d (Rev. 5629)
Latest Veritas Device Driver (12/15/2005)
HP SureStore Tape Autoloader 1/9 with Ultrium 1 Drive
HP 64-Bit/133MHz PCI-X 2CH Ultra320 HBA (latest drivers)
RSM disabled
NO CASO
No Errors or Messages in Eventlog
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Elke
