I have a StorageTek L80 library, with 8 SDLT drives. About every 4-6 weeks, BackupExec starts only using 2-3 drives of the 8, and queues jobs up until one of those few drives becomes available.
Many times, this occurs over the weekend, where I need all drives running to make the backup window.
I've already checked all event logs, all alerts... there are no indications that there is any fault with the other tape drives, even within BackupExec, they appear to be normal... it just doesn't want to use certain drives. A reboot of the media server tends to clear the issue.
Veritas tech support was no help... anyone else hear of this issue?
