Hello Experts,
We are experirncing issue with the drive. We have 8 drives and out of 8 drives only 5 are writing and jobs are in queue in activity monitor.
We did the following troubleshooting.
We are using windows 2008 R2 server as our Master server
1:- Its showing all drives in OS (Vmoprcmd and tpconfig, scan -changer)
2:- all drives are there in device manager.
3:- Its showing 5 drives have tapes and 3 are empty in Robtest.
4:- ran nbrustil -listActiveDriveJobs but it shows no job activity for 3 drives.
Somebody told me to use the command nbrustil -reset drive or -relese drive so that it would release all the allocation.
1:- I want to know what are these allocation and why does it happen?
2:- what is the difference between reset drive and release drive.
3:- what is the best practise to avoid this?
4:- There is no alert for that if drive is not writing. So what should we do to know that drives are idle and other jobs are in queue?
Thanks,
