NBU status: 830, EMM status: No drives are available

Hi All,

Need help ASAP please. we have restore request. backup has been done by server henfp01 (old media server) on August. when we decomissioned server we have followed recommanded steps to do so.

now we have another media server henbackup01 and restore request. we got the tape. tape owner has been changed to henbackup01. but when we are running restore it is failing with error 5, details:

I saw from above that it is assigning job to new media server (henbackup01). media server is ok with resources:

I ran backup job and it is successfully completed, so everything is ok with drives. 

Also emm log:

  • Thanks for direction Marianne, i changed media type and restore is running now. i didnt notice that media type was different.

    but during restore i got following warning:

    2/8/2012 11:24:12 AM - Warning bptm(pid=2208) media id 216729 not found in Media Manager, mount request will most likely occur

    What does this means?

    Thanks again!

  • Please post output of:

    Master:

  • Thanks for direction Marianne, i changed media type and restore is running now. i didnt notice that media type was different.

    but during restore i got following warning:

    2/8/2012 11:24:12 AM - Warning bptm(pid=2208) media id 216729 not found in Media Manager, mount request will most likely occur

    What does this means?

    Thanks again!

  • OK - that is what I've suspected!

    Hope the hcart2 tape drive is LTO5?

    In that case changing the NBU density to hcart3 will work.

  • Not sure. I would have changed the drive density, not the media density.

  • Restore completed successfully after changing media type. root cause was drive type: HCART2 and media type HCART3 as seen in the outputs which Marianne asked.

  • Hi Marianne,

     

    why do you think it may have an issue if we will change media type. please share your knowledge. and also why did you say this:

    Hope the hcart2 tape drive is LTO5?

    In that case changing the NBU density to hcart3 will work.

    If it is not LTO5 it is not possible to change drive type? i thougt we can change any kind of drive (LTO2/3/4/5) to any density (HCART/2/3) as long as the densities are logical which is just within NB, is it correct?

  • When configuring devices with wizard, both LTO 2 and LTO 5 drive will be added with hcart2 type.
    LTO 2 drive can not read LTO 3 tapes, whereas LTO 5 drive can read LTO 3 tape.
