Below the status logging of the job.
Our setup is:
1 master server for the EMM database and 4 IBM LTO2 drives attached (on Solaris) with kms on it.
1 new Media server with 3 IBM LTO4 drives attached (on W2K3 64bit R2 Sp2)

Hi, This is media problem.
First, check the media status. (freeze/unfreeze)
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpmedialist -mlist
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpmedia -unfreeze -m 000601
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpmedia -unfreeze -m 000603
And then, check the media status by bpmedialist command.
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpmedialist -mlist
You'll not see the frozen media. If you find the other frozen media,
# bpmedia -unfreeze -m media_id

Below the outcome! But when I restart the backup it gives me the same results. The media keeps freezing after.
If I place the tape(s) in a normal (not ENCR_) pool, I'am able to do a backup on those tapes.
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpmedialist -mlist

Are you defiantly directing your encrypted backups towards the LTO-4 drives & LTO-4 media?, the tapes your using are defined as hcart, not a problem if LTO-2 & LTO-4 are in separate libraries.
Have you checked the firmware level on the drives? Minimum level is 7BG2
12-03-2008 04:32 AM
Both the LTO2 and LTO4 drive's are placed in 1 library. The LTO2's are connected to the Master server and the LTO4's are connected to the Media server. According to Veritas Support LTO4 tapes are registered as hcart and LTO2 as hcart2. LTO3 would be hcart3 and LTO5 would get hcart2.
As I mentioned normal backups (without the encryption feature kms) are working fine.
12-03-2008 04:41 AM
So all your LTO-4 drives and media are defined as hcart while all your LTO-2 drives and media are defined as hcart2 correct?
Does your Key Group name in KMS exactly match the Volume Group name your trying to write encrypted backups too in NetBackup?
12-03-2008 05:09 AM
Question 1) Yes, they are.
Question 2) Yes,They must be. To be sure I did ./nbkmsutil -listkgs and copy/past it to the new Pool name.
