Error: Failed to call RPC function 'LoadMedium': Incorrect function. Failed to move tape.

[TedLaurent]

I've got a ticket open for this issue but thought I'd post to the forum in case someone might have additional recommendations.

Currently the tape backup job to the fiber channel connected MSL 2024 fails with the error message listed in the subject line.

I've rebooted the tape library and rescanned it as suggested but no change.

Anyone seen this error?

Addendum: GFS Media pool was set to automatically get tapes. Loading tapes manually into the pool allows tape backup job to complete normally.
HPE Command View MSL shows automatic. Anyone seen this happen before?

Hello, i was wondering if you Initialised the media in the Webui of the Tapeloader before trying to run a Tape Backup?

I had this and similar errors on defective tape drive. Reflash/reboots/rescans/reconnects helped just for a short period of time.
The solution was to replace a drive.
I have seen this error on incompatible SAS HBA too (Proliant, HP recommended controller), the solution was to replace the HBA with HBA from another vendor.

But first of all I would try to run a drive cleaning 2-3 times manually (I mean from web interface of the library).
