Error 90:54 Device Busy

[Jorge_100]

Hi Guys...

I´m getting the following error during
[Major] From: BMA@oracledb.sp.senac.br "oracledb_d1" Time: 15/2/2005 16:47:14 [90:54] /dev/rmt/9mn Cannot open device ([16] Device busy)

But my no is really, my devices no are busy, and any device create for others servers run.

[lawrenzo · Accepted solution]

Try # fuser -u /dev/rmt/9mn

then do ps -ef |grep

this should tell you what process is attached to the 9mn

you can then kill the process
# fuser -ku /dev/rmt/9mn

hope this helps

Hi Jorge,

This is a message from Dataprotector / Omniback II. So, eventhough the actual device may be free, there may be something going on at DP.

Check the "Monitor" context in DP GUI. If there are any sessions in progress, decide what you want to do. If you are sure no sessions are running, then try as below,

1) at command prompt
omnidbutil show_locked_devs

If this indicates any device in its list then use

2) omnidbutil free_locked_devs {devname| mediaID}

check for man/help omnidbutil for details.

Revert with the result.

With regards,
Mohan.

Jorge,
your first message is not very clear.
What were you doing when the error occurred?
Backing up to tape?
Where did you see the error (a log file?) ?
Were there any other messages near the message you posted?

What kind of backup software are you using? Are you using omniback?

You can also try... fuser -cu /dev/rmt/9mn

if it list a proscess id.. then do ps -ef and grep for the process id to see what is causing the drive to show busy.

Jorge,
please check your drive:
ioscan -fnCtape
This should list /dev/rmt/9mn, if it does not check the cables and rerun command.
