Legato storage manager messages ???

[mike worrell]

Hi all,
I have a box I just recently took to 11.0 using the same cd's I have for all my 11.0
upgrades.
On the console I keep getting this message

Legato Storage Media Manager (waiting) backup
to pool 'Default'waiting for 1 writable backup tape

What is this and how do I get it to stop?
Thanx
MIke

Mike,

This is just an informational message telling you that your tape library has used the tape in the drive and is waiting for another (blank) tape - if Legato is set up properly it should just go on to mount your next available tape.

I receive the messages on the console each night, they really haven't bugged me enough to figure out how to get rid of them sorry!

Hi Mike:

If memory serves, this is an artifact from an Oracle install. There will be an entry in /sbin/init.d/networker to start this stuff. I think all you need to do is
/sbin/init.d/networker stop and then either remove the S and K links in the /sbin/rcN.d directories or simple cause the script to do an exit 0

what is legato?
I've never seen any message about that before.
We use fbackup for backing up.
Is it telling me the backup needs another tape.

See http://www.legato.com/

It's a backup/storage management software product line. Oracle will run just fine with the networker script disabled.

Legato is a 3rd party network based backup solution. Many people are using it.

Hi Mike:

Legato is a backup software. It will work just like Omniback or the fbackup. However, you need to purchase the product if you want to use that. In your case, as you are using fbackup, you may not need to consider this option. The message you are getting on your console is coming from Legato software ( which is installed temperarily from an Oracle install ?). If you don't use Legato, then you can just stop the daemons using:

# /sbin/init.d/networker stop

If you don't want this to start on next reboot, then disable/remove/rename the Legato start/kill rc scripts (/sbin/rc2.d/S900networker and /sbin/rc0.d/K200networker).
