GENERAL ERROR: Automated Cartridge System (ACS) drives are in an AVR status.

Solution



Overview:
Automated Cartridge System (ACS) drives are in AVR status. A firewall exists between the ACSLS host and the media server on which the drives are configured.


Troubleshooting:
1. Collect the following logs to troubleshoot the issue.
a. /usr/openv/volmgr/debug/acsssi/event.log on media server
b. /export/home/ACSSS/log/acsss_event.log on ACSLS host
c. System Log (/var/adm/messages on the media server).

2. Verify that RPC is Running
# rpcinfo

3. Verify the ACSSS Program
# rpcinfo -t {acsls_hostname} 300031 2
program 300031 version 2 ready and waiting
# rpcinfo -t {acsls_hostname} 300031 1
program 300031 version 1 ready and waiting

You should get a response from both programs, but you only need a response from the version that you are using
(2 = UDP or 3 = TCP). The NetBackup default for this communications service is UDP.


Log Files:
Sample output from /var/adm/messages file on media server (system log file location will differ according to the OS version of the media server).

Sample output from /usr/openv/volmgr/debug/acsssi/event.log log on media server:

Resolution:
Ports 13724, 13782, 30032, 30031, 30033, 13740 and 13741 must be opened bi-directionally on the firewall.
