We are having a problem with media. We are starting to get a lot of media write errors. I believe it is media rather than the drive because when we freeze the tape that is being used when the error occurs, and re-run the backup, it finishes successfully. The real problem that we are having is when a backup gets this error on the first try, it uses the same tape for the second try and fails again. We would like to force it to use another tape on the retry. Can we automatically freeze the tape on an error 84 in NetBackup? What other methods can we use to force it to another tape on the retry?
Setup:
NetBackup DataCenter 4.5
Master Server and Media Servers are UNIX (Solaris)
