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

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