How do I clear stuck tape drive allocations in NetBackup?

On the NetBackup master server, do the following when no jobs are running:

Check the following directories for drive entries when no drives are being used:

ls -l /usr/openv/netbackup/db/media/drives
ls -l /usr/openv/netbackup/db/media/tpreq

If you see files in any of the directories you can remove them.

Next, you can reset EMM using the following command:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbrbutil -resetAll

After EMM is reset, start up another backup job and your stuck resources should be available.
