Description
Bad tape in an ETL 7/3500 causes downing all of the drives in NetBackup
SOLUTION SUMMARY:
To prevent one tape from being cycled through the drives, touch the following 
file in /usr/openv/netbackup:


	MEDIA_ERROR_THRESHOLD

Edit this file and put in a numerical value

	1-###

From now on, when there is an error (whatever number you specify) on this tape, 
it will mark this tape as frozen.

Inserting the entry

	DRIVE_MEDIA_THRESHOLD

may also assist in stopping this problem.
