Erase many Media failed at one time

[zoe.liao]

Hello,

I have run a scripts to erase many medias and run async .And then I found some of the job failed with below error:

Error: Unable to move tape to ChangerSlot2: changer element in not empty


What does that mean? Does that because too much media that changer is busy to handle all ?

This seems to be expected behavior. If you try to erase several tapes simultaneously, using GUI, the tasks will be queued, waiting for their turn. However, running scripts in async fashion doesn't provide this capability and many tasks are trying to reach charger at the same time. As the result, you see the corresponding error.

Thanks.

Hello,v.Eremin
I have modified it to erase one by one and then inventory it.
But however,the inventory have failed as below:

It seems handle the medium one by one ,why it still failed with the same error.
Did it because the tape drivers? Because it could not recognize the windows changer drivers ,so I have used IBM tape drivers in windows.
