catalog backup tape mount problem
Hi
Has anyone seen this before? My Catalog backup hung today and encountered problems loading the tape. I have also seen this message when trying to test a partial catalog recovery before. Normally the Catalog backup is fine on the same drives (2 attached directly to the Master down 2 paths each)

Previously when this happened on the Partial Catalog recovery I had the drives and library checked out by IBM and they checked out OK on the system logs.
Any advice appreciated,
Thanks
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
After several weeks of having intermittent problems and trying various things including the advice posted here, I had all the fibre cables on every drive and every connection re-seated, then started from scratch and re-scanned into the OS and finally reran device configuration in Netbackup.
All is working OK now and I suspect the cabling was probably the underlying issue.
Many Thanks to All.
