Device used by veritas netbackup has a down status
Hi,
Our veritas netbackup generate 213 storage unit not available error last night and nothing gets backed-up. Using tpconfig I found out that the tape device drive is down. Can anyone tell me usually what are the reasons causing the drive down, is it possible to check since when it is down and make it notify me when it is down?
Thanks

My Veritas is on Sun Solaris not windows. So the administrative tools you all suggested are not applicable. I however restarted netbackup and it works fine now.
