I've gone thru the Spectra Wizard to initialize tapes, all tapes currently in the library are initialized per the Spectra wizard. I've restarted NBU on the master and all media servers (this particular error is happening on the master server which is also acting as the media server for this tape library) (in case that's relevant?) It "feels" like it's getting a little further in that I "see" "Current Kilobytes Written" incrementing slightly from the job details of the duplication, but still fails after a minute or so.
Is there a way to verify in NBU if the tapes are 'initialized'?
Hi nholtz
I will start by saying that I don't have LTO9, nor have I used this anywhere.
Does the initialization process you use calibrate the entire tape (which is how I read the caution from the HCL). The process apparently can take up to 2 hours per tape (and as little as 12 minutes).
If you think you have done everything correctly, then I would suggest logging a support call to see if they are able to provide an answer as to why the tapes do not support writing.
