Netbackup inventory robot can't see media tape

Hi,

 

I have been facing a problem with tapes.

Most of the times required tapes are already available in the physical libraries,  At the same time, if i run the inventory on the master server, We loaded 104 media tapes but we can only see 1 tape.

This is a tape library issue or netbackup configuration? Please advise.

 

Environment

Windows Server 2008 R2 = Netbackup Master Server 7.5.0.5

Windows Server 2008 R2 = Netbackup Media Server 7.5.0.5

Tape Library =

 

 

Thanks,

John

 

  • The total slots is probably the total slots available in the library, not, the slots assigned to each partition.

    That said, you haven't confirmed yet if ALMS is enabled - if I remember correctly if this is turned on, even if you only have one partition, youu have to then assign slots to it.

    As mentioned before, if ALMS is turned off, and you have the correct license, I can only think it could be a library fault as with ALMS off, I think all the slots should be automatically assigned to the library.

    The other possibility is that with ALMS turned on, you have a lot of slots configured as virtual I/O - these will not be available as regular slots as they are effectivly an extension of the CAP.
