How to avoid the file devices disabled automatically

[gpsseelan]

I am new to Legato Networker. The /nsrstage1 and /nsrstage4 are
frequently getting disabled. How to avoid these devices getting
disabled ? Could someone help?

We are running NetWorker for Solaris VERSION: 6.1.1.Build.238, on
Solaris 8 on Sun-Fire-280R.
We are finding the following error message in the /nsr/logs/daemon.log
file.

10/11/06 10:35:50 nsrd: media info: cannot open /nsrstage4/380398849.0

I donot find the files /nsrstage4/380398849.0 and
/nsrstage1/682209793.0

The nsrwatch screen shot is given below this screen shot is taken after
we enabled those devices.

Sathiyaseelan,

The devices are being disabled because they are looking for files and
not finding them.

NetWorker disables devices when errors occurs (Actually when the "Max
consecutive Errors" in the detailed view of the device resource occur).

You might better ask, where are files that are my backups going?
