Title: Frozen / suspended tapes

If it's recent frozen tapes, in large amounts, I've seen this done due to hardware mount failures.

 

Check your media error report, it'll tell you why.

 

bperror -media -<opts>

 

       bperror  [-all|-problems|-media|{-backstat [-by_statcode]}]
           [-L|-l|-U] [-columns ncols]
           [-d mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS|-hoursago hours] [-e mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS]
           [-client client_name] [-server server_name]
           [-jobid job_id] [-jobgroupid job_group_id]
           [-M master_server,...] [-v]

 

Also check the contents of ../netbackup/db/media/errors on your master server, too.

We are getting a fair amount of frozen and suspended tapes over the weekend. What are the causes for tapes getting into these states?
