    You need nbstserv logs for 22 and 23 May. Looking in today's log won't help.

    Were all of the jobs that you show in the attachment in queued or active state for all of those days?

    SIX days in this case!!

    05/23/2015 21:33:09 - requesting resource LCM_nbumsrv2_ALL_LTO
05/23/2015 21:37:24 - Info nbrb (pid=27590880) Limit has been reached for the logical resource LCM_nbumsrv2_ALL_LTO
05/29/2015 05:57:49 - begin Duplicate

    What is weird here is that Martin's testing showed that SLP duplication failed with an error when no resources are available.

    Do you have other duplication jobs in queued or active state waiting for resources?

    You really need to have a good look at duplication resources  - you should never have jobs waiting for tape drives this long.

    As per my post of yesterday - work through the SLP Best Practice Guide to assess and tune your environment.
    All duplication jobs should be finished before next backup window starts.

Run the following:

cd /usr/openv/var/global/nbstserv
df -h .
head *

 

This will check the filesystem is not full which may be preventing these files from being written, but if this is not the issue, then each of these files should contain one line which is the backup image id following by a number (0 in all my files).  The backup image id should refer to the images currently being backed up, so if you look at active duplication jobs then the file in the "File List" for these should match the backup image id in the files in /usr/openv/var/global/nbstserv
