Michael, The "unable to lock media" message has to do with bptm selecting media. Without the log, my guess is that you'll see bptm is attempting to obtain a piece of media for a backup. One part of that process is going through it's local mediaDB to see if it fan find a match for what it needs (correct volume pool, retention, etc). If a particular tape is in use, then you'll see the "unable to lock media" message.
I don't think this is related to the problem you originally posted. BTW, what patch level? -Tim On Tue, May 6, 2008 at 8:47 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Folks, > > Not sure whether anyone can help or give a workaround solution? > > We're having issues in NBU 5.1 environment with HP-UX media servers and > jobs > not going to end writing.
