I recently uninstalled Veritas Netbackup from an E3500, which was also
previously attached to a tape robot.
I have since attached a single DLT7000 tape drive onto the server, but am
unable to write or get the status of the drive, by any user other than
"root".
I need to be able to do backups to this device, as user "oracle".
I have replaced the st.conf file, back to it's original state, from before the
Netbackup installation.
Does anyone know if this is related to the previous Netbackup installation and
/ or know of any fixes ?
If I attach this device to a different server I can then run a status to this
device as any user.
Many Thanks
Andy Hardy
