NetBackup media not available

Some backup failures can occur because there is no media available. In that case, execute the following script and run the NetBackup Media List report to check the status of media:

Linux/UNIX

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/available_media

Windows

   install_path\NetBackup\bin\goodies\available_media

The NetBackup Media List report may show that some media is frozen and therefore cannot be used for backups.

I/O errors that recur can cause NetBackup to freeze media. The NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide describes how to deal with this issue. For example, see under NetBackup error code 96.

You can also configure the NetBackup error threshold value.

See Adjusting the media_error_threshold.
