Unable to take inventory in nbu
Hi
when i am trying to take inventory getting below given error
bash-3.2# vmupdate -rn 3 -rt TLD -empty_map -rh <XXXXXXXX>
auto empty media access port request rejected by tldcd, Cannot move from media access port to slot
Where i can check, not found any thing in "dmesg"
This sounds like an issue with the robot having problems accessing the slots rather than a NetBackup issue
Have you tried using robtest to move the tapes?
On some libraries, usually the smaller ones, sometimes... one of the slots doubles up as the map port. e.g. slot 24 can be a slot and can also be the MAP port or 'mail slot' port - at the same time!
So, you can have a library with 24 slots, all occupied, and everything is normal and fine. But when you then try an 'empty_map' action... then... the library reports back to NetBackup that it was unable to empty the MAP - but we know that it didn't need to do that... but NetBackup cannot know any different because the library only reports back to NetBackup that 24 slots exist and that a MAP port exists - but the library does not inform NetBackup that the MAP port/mail-slot port is also the 24th slot.
So, because the tape library vendor has tried to be efficient and clever with their design - this can leave us scratching our heads - until we read the product manual - which tells us what is going on.
HTH.
