Netbackup Control Mode For Tape Drive

The document discusses different states that a robotic drive in a NetBackup system can be in, including: - AVR mode, where the drive is usable and automatic volume recognition is enabled. - DOWN mode, where the drive is unusable either because it was manually downed or configured as down. - SCAN mode, where a drive is configured for Shared Storage Option but has no available scan host to use it. - Different control modes, where a shared drive may have a different status on each host that shares it.

)
For example, TLD.
The robotic daemon that manages the drive that is connected to ltid (the device daemon and
Device Manager service). The daemon is running. The drive is in the usable state. AVR is
assumed to be active for the drive; all robotic drives must be in AVR mode (not OPR mode).

For example, DOWN-TLD.
The drive is in an unusable state due to the following reasons:
It was downed by an operator or by NetBackup.
When the drive was configured, it was added as a down drive.
c 
  

In this mode, the drive is not available.
A drive can be in a DOWN mode because of problems. Or, the drive can be down because a user
set it to that mode.
 

  

The drive is in a usable state. Automatic volume recognition is enabled, but the robotic daemon
that manages the drive is not connected or is not functional. Media mounts do not occur
automatically, but an operator can insert a tape in the drive. Alternatively, you can use the robtest
utility to force a tape mount.
  
  

The drive is running with automatic volume recognition enabled.
! 
  

The drive is running in OPR mode.
In NetBackup 6.0, OPR mode is functionally equivalent to AVR mode for automatic drive
assignment. Drive paths in OPR mode can be assigned if they satisfy the mount request.

A drive is configured for Shared Storage Option but has no available scan host. To be considered
available, a host must have an SSO_SCAN_ABILITY factor of non-zero and have the drive in
the UP state.
SCAN may be caused if all available scan hosts have the drive in the DOWN state. Other hosts
(that are not scan hosts) may want to use the drive, but have a scan factor of zero. The drive is
unusable by NetBackup until a scan host is assigned.
%&' (c #$    "  

The control mode for a shared drive may not be the same on all hosts that share the drive. For
shared drives each host can have a different status for the drive. The status of individual paths to
the drive appears in the Drive Path column. If the control modes are all the same, that mode
appears.
