[MERGED]Tape Library MSL4048

Post by Apiebe »

Hi
We are testing Veeam (using Backup Exec for the time being) Everything is working fine like backup, restore, ... almost perfect (to many firewall ports needs to be opened) but anyway.
Now testing my tape library. Installed HP drivers scan of librarie server, librarie appears and my 2 tape drives appear also.
But when I want to erase one tape, I receive an error:

Code: Select all

Hello Apiebe,

No cleaning tape loaded.
All tapes have barcodes.

thanks for the quick reply

Apiebe,

This error seems to be reported before, so the suggested solution is to clean the drive and check the tape media as it might be expired. I suggest running native HP tools to test that - lest us know how it goes. Cheers!

Are this device is still added to BE? Or are there BE remnants still present inside the system, such as drivers, services, etc.?

Thanks for sharing the update. To clarify is that happening with some particular tape or with any tape you are trying to erase?
