I had the same thing when I installed the v10.10.0.0 HP agents on our B&R server, so the issue still exists. Definitely the HP agents which caused this, breaking the HP tape drivers. In my case I uninstalled the agents to resolve the problem.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post your findings. It saved me a lot of time investigating why our tape backups suddenly started failing.

Thank you OP for posting your solution. I rolled back to 9.50 and all is hunky dory.

Note: For those doing the roll back, if you cannot install the 9.50 WBEM agent then it's a problem with the Visual C++ 2012 RTM being installed from installing the HP Insight Management Agent. Uninstall the Visual C++ 2012 RTM first, then install 9.50 WBEM, and finally install the HP Insight Management Agent. Do it in that order and the 9.50 WBEM will install fine.
