A pending request has been generated for this resource request

Hi All,

A duplication job gets hung with folowing message in the job details "A pending request has been generated for this resource request"

I am pasting all possible information you might need. Its single master media 7507 on windows 2008, single tape library with 2 drives. All backups are multiplexed. Duplication worked for all other images. Some images recides on single media and some of two. The one in question resides on two. Other images with multiple medias goes fine. The backup-id of failed job is asnetapp03_1406917805 and the medias it belong to are HO0002 and HO0023.

There is another image on same media HO0002 and HO0023 but it duplicates without an issue. The diference is it mounts HO0023 and then HO0002 where as the other images which fails tries to mount HO0002 and goes into pending. Ran mcontent on HO0002 and it works well.

Here are some of the outputs -

  • From the dump it seems that 000008 is in the drive, and there are 2 allocations for HO0002 without any drives assigned. You said there are only 2 drives in your system. Is this not blocking the restore as it wants to mount both?

  • Thanks Riaan. I think it is as it is supposed to be but the strange thing is why there are two allocations for HO0002?

  • Suspend SLP, kill both allocations and activate SLP again. I have seen this in jobs with hung services.

  • I tried restore from the same image and it worked ... Now its clear that there is no issue with image or media ...

    Can it be an issue with nbrb - We see this error

    8/6/2014 18:28:24.349 [RbActionHandler::evaluate] PEND is set, MDS defined pend: (PendingRequest_Record: mediaId=HO0002 barcode=HO0002 density=14 accessMode=R

  • I saw there were 2, don't know if that's normal. Never seen it before.

     

    Maybe just kill those mds allocations. And try from scratch.

  • ​Just a idea

    Check density of the tape drive. HO0002 is HCART2, if the tape drives isn't HCART2 the restore request will queue as manual request with no tape drive allocation.

    Update: Just re-read the thread. If images duplicate of HO0002 it not a density issue

  • Which pool is selected for the duplication?

    If Daily pool is selected for duplication, it is possible that HO0002 is selected for source and destination.

    Try to suspend HO0002 and see if that makes a difference for duplication job.
    Or select a different pool to duplicate to.

  • The destination volume pool is different and finally I concluded that the issue is ONLY limitted to one image. I cancelled it from the duplication phase of SLP and now we dont see any errors....

    It was very strange.... the density is same .. it can be used for the same purpose for another job by same policy ... :)
