Title: Media waiting backup pool, waiting for 1 writable tape;Check client
setup

Description:

A backup attempt to a specific backup pool that references a storage node fails
with the following error:

media waiting backup pool [pool_name] waiting for 1 writable tape

ANALYSIS:

Using the NetWorker Administrator or nwadmin, verify that the devices are
enabled and that the jukebox is properly configured. Then confirm that the
server is able to communicate with the storage node.

Using the NetWorker Administrator or nwadmin, check the client setup to verify
that the storage node field specifies the correct name of the storage node.

In this instance the storage node field contained 'nsrserverhost'.

SOLUTION:

1) Run NetWorker Administrator (nwadmin)

2) NT - Select Options => Customize and check Display Hidden Attributes
UNIX - Select View => View details

3) Edit the client resource that is not getting backed up

3) NT - Select Preference tab
UNIX - Scroll down to the Storage nodes field

4) Enter the correct storage node name in the Storage nodes field

5) Re-run the backup

As far as /sbin/init.d/networker - checked my Solaris 2.6 backup server and clients - none have that directory - look for /usr/sbin/nsr possibly.
