drive status = restart
NetBackup 6.0 MP4
vmoprcmd shows the tapedrive status as RESTART
I can't find documentation on what RESTART means as applied to this command.
It's too common of a term to do any practical searches.
What does the status RESTART mean?
oh, BTW, I was able to correct it by restarting netbackupMessage was edited by:

- DOCUMENTATION: What are some of the situations where is it necessary to restart daemons / services in VERITAS NetBackup (tm) 6.0?

Changing the device (robot/drive) configuration
When adding, removing or modifying a device, some restarts may be necessary depending on the situation.
Adding: The ltid daemon on all the media servers that access the device need to be restarted.
Modifying: Daemon restart (on one or more than one media server) may or may not be required depending on the device attributes that are changed.
- If an attribute like drive cleaning frequency is changed, then no daemons need to be restarted.
- If an attribute like drive type or robot number is changed, then ltid on all the media servers that access the device need to be restarted.
- If the status column of vmoprcmd displays RESTART for a device path, then the media server corresponding to the device path needs to be restarted. In addition, if the robot attributes are changed, then ltid on the server acting as the robot control host may have to be restarted.
Deleting: No daemons need to be restarted.
