Drive is in OPR status

[Chronos]

Hallo,

When I run the vmoprcmd one of the drives in the tape library appears to have an "OPR status" that I've not been aware of until recently:

SL500-D4                 No      No                     No        hcart3
    hannover.bkp               /dev/rmt/4cbn                        SCAN-TLD
    drezden.bkp                /dev/rmt/1cbn                        OPR
    stuttgart.bkp              /dev/rmt/0cbn                        OPR
    raul                       /dev/rmt/4cbn                        OPR

Is this something I should worry about ?

Also, if I run a tpconfig -d that same drive has the same name as another drive:

root@drezden:~ # tpconfig -d
Id  DriveName           Type   Residence
      Drive Path                                                       Status
****************************************************************************
0   SL500-D6             hcart3 TLD(0)  DRIVE=6
      /dev/rmt/2cbn                                                    UP
1   SL500-D2             hcart3 TLD(0)  DRIVE=2
      /dev/rmt/0cbn                                                    UP
2   SL500-D4             hcart3 TLD(0)  DRIVE=2
      /dev/rmt/1cbn                                                    UP
3   SL500-D1             hcart3 TLD(0)  DRIVE=1
      /dev/rmt/3cbn                                                    UP
4   SL500-D3             hcart3 TLD(0)  DRIVE=3
      /dev/rmt/4cbn                                                    UP
5   SL500-D5             hcart3 TLD(0)  DRIVE=5
      /dev/rmt/5cbn                                                    UP

Should I change the drive name? I'm sure the name was different a month ago, I got some logs from back then...

Thank you very much for your answers,

OPR stands for "operator" mode. Which means that it's not in AVR (automatic volume recognition) mode which it should be, especially  since it's in a robot. It looks fine on at least the scan host. 

When setting a drive to "up" there is an options for normal up and  up-OPR. So this might just be as simple as changing that state like so:

vmoprcmd -upbyname SL500-D4 -h drezden

Thanks John. Any chance I could get an answer about the identical naming of the drives?

I think what you are referring to is the Residence and it looks like you have multiple assignments of the same physical drive.  I would run through the Device Configuration Wizard when you have quiet time (no active backups). 

 Id  DriveName           Type        Residence
      Drive Path                                               Status
***********************************************************************
1   SL500-D2             hcart3 TLD(0)  DRIVE=2
      /dev/rmt/0cbn                                            UP
2   SL500-D4             hcart3 TLD(0)  DRIVE=2
      /dev/rmt/1cbn                                            UP

Thanks, I'll try to check that when it gets quiet.
