BE 12.5 Cascaded DP job not rolling to Tape #2

hello

I have the following

Be 12.5

win2008 r2

2 400 LTO drives, 2 identical scsi cards

All Drives work normally on their own.

 

I have created a Cascaded Drive pool and assigned my job to this pool. When tape 1 fills up, I get prompted to insert another tape in drive 1 instead even though there is an empty tape in drive 2. 

Ideas?

  • If you inventory the tape in the second drive before the job starts, does it appear in blue (overwriteable)

    Even if the job starts on tape 1 as Append, the 2nd through whatever are treated as overwrite

    Just noticed that your media server is v12.5 and your OS is W2K8 R2

    A W2K8 R2 machine requires v2010 at a minimum.  V12.5 is only supported on Server 2008, 2003 and 2000

  • Yes second tape is blue and overwritable.

    I will downgrade my server to 2008 and see if this works.
