[Veritas-bu] Backups getting status code 52 while vaulting is running.

2007-08-24 Thread Kevin Whittaker
All,

Ok, I have a NetBackup 5.1MP6 environment with 27 Media servers that
only back themselves up usually for ORACLE databases.

I have 1 L700e with 11 9940B tape drives, and a EMC CDL720 which is a
virtual tape library.  

I backup to the CDL and vault to the L700.  I have always done the
alternate read configuration so that my vaulting all occurs on the
master server.

Let's take 3 media servers which had a virtual L700e with 20 drives
configured for them and the master server.

The master server had 4 dedicated tape drives, and each media server had
4 dedicated tape drives.  I had the master server have 4 drives for
backups and to access the tapes from the 3 media servers during
vaulting.

** Now **  I have configured that robot that had 20 total drives as SSO
drives.  The master server, and all 3 media servers have access to all
20 drives.

In the past, when a tape was in use from the virtual robot by vaulting
the backup would just say it could not find the tape and continue.

Now that we have the whole robot in SSO, the backups are waiting for the
mounting of the tape and timing out instead of going to the next
available tape!

Does anybody know how to avoid this issue?
