I can't open the doors to the PX510 without taking the drive itself it offline. There is no mail slot in the PX510. There are load ports, but again, I have to open the door of the PX510 to access the load ports, and the PX510 itself will not open the doors while the PX510 itself is on-line. The on-line / off-line of the PX510 is different than the on-line / off-line status of the drives in Netbackup. -- Mike Sponsler Northrop Grumman [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Doctor: Don't move it like that. Seriously, why not use NBU's ability to move tapes in and out of the library without having to take it offline? --- W.

The PX510 is connected to a fibre san switch, and my Solaris 10 Netbackup 6 master server is connected into the san switch as well. When the PX510 is taken off-line (say to add new tapes, remove old tapes, inventory the tape library at the PX510), then taken back on-line, I can't see the PX510 from my Solaris 10 master server. If I run sgscan from the Solaris 10 box, I can't see the the jukebox until the Solaris 10 box is reset. The odd thing is, is that the PX510 is used for Shared Storage. I've got a Linux box (SLES 9) running Netbackup 6 MP2 connected to the fibre san switch as well. The Linux box can see it by running /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/scan before and after the PX510 goes offline then online. I can't keep rebooting my Solaris 10 master server every time I add or remove tapes from it. I've tried modunload and modload on the sg and st modules in solaris. Has anyone had anything similar to this occur to them? If so did you find a work around? Or if you've got any general ideas, please share. -- Mike Sponsler Northrop Grumman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
