Dear Experts,
I am having netbackup server in guc cluster. we have 3media servers on main site and 3 media server on dr site. The media server on the main site is one is windows machine and the other two are nbu appliance 5220 and 5230. The same setup is on the dr site.
I am taking the backup using the san client.
i have created a storage life cycle policy which is targetting the job at 5230 appliance ie media server 3
i have selected additional server on main site as media server2 and media server 3 for stu.
When ever i ran the backup of my solaris client and the backup goes through media server2 ie 5220 appliance the job fails with error code 83

media open error(83)
But if the same backup goes through media server 3 5230 appliance its successfull.
if i restart my nbftserver service on media server 2 it runs fine for a day or 2 and then the same error.
Your help is highly appreciated.
