Concerning the failure to unload tapes on a DLT7000. I have a number of DLT7000 and DLT8000 libraries connected to Filers. I use Legato Networker and it requires setting high timeouts for eject sleep, unload sleep, mount sleep, etc., to work properly. The total for timeouts can be up to 5 minutes

Don,
Netbackup 3.4 on solaris says not.
04/03/2002 16:14:17 netback dtoal1 backup of client dtoal1 exited with status 154 (storage unit characteristics mismatched to request)
Speaking of netapp backups with netbackup, I've been trying to figure out why a dlt7000 fails to unload a tape, occasionally. Anyone else seen this? No symptoms, no errors logged, but the next backup of the netapp fails because "storage unit is unavailable".

What I'm trying to do is to connect a DLT7000 to a netapp F740. Using
netbackup I want to backup the netapp but also backup sun machines that reside elsewhere on the network.
Thanks in advance for any tips.

Michael,
Ok, I didn't think of that, thanks. Seems like no matter how long I wait when unloading manually, it still fails, time to open another case with veritas I suppose. Amusement factor of the debug goes up as number-of-products-involved squared.
