Check
the All Log Entries report in NetBackup and syslog on the filer to find out why
the tape drives are being downed - this should not be
happening.
You
can't prevent NetBackup from downing drives, but you can change the number of
errors that will cause a drive to be downed (3 by default). Search the KB
on the Veritas web site for details.
If
it's not something you can easily solve, there is a script available
called drivewatch.cmd which will you can add to the NT task scheduler
to periodically check for downed drives and automatically "up"
them again.

Hi everyone,
Does any one ever encounter this before?
We have 2 tape drives connected to 2 Network Appliance Filer. It
goes down
randomly every day and the following error msg is recorded in the
application
event log. We are running Veritas Netbackup Data Centre
Ver 3.4.1 on Windows
2000 ? But when we "up" the drive in device
monitor, the backup completes
successfully.
Does anyone know where to set on the filer or NBU
to prevent the drive to go down?
