Nb 5.0 mp6 Solaris 9
We are having issues with restarting netbackup and having our netapp tape drive interface hang. The other day we had to stop netbackup while backup jobs were running on the filer using the NDMP protocol. After netbackup was down and then brought back up some of the tape drive interfaces (we have fiber LTO3 drives attached to the filers) would hang. Upon further investigation it seems that the filer still had a "job" on the tape drive even though no day was being sent from the filer. We are suspecting that when netbackup comes down the command from netbackup to filer to stop its "job" is either not getting there at all or is taking too long. The "fix" is to turn the tape drive off and on or down and up the interface on the switch. Both force a rescan by the filer to re establish communications. We are running the latest code from netapp.
Has anyone else ran into this issue? Also what is the recommend, best practice way to stop netbackup while you have jobs running?
