...so, not sure who/why I got a -1, but anyway.

The only reason I can see for the tapes changing place is that you have a free slot somewhere, and the tapes are being swopped around as such. If the slots are full, then the tapes should be put back into exactly the same place as they were taken out of, considering there would be no other place to put it.

Check out the links below for further reference:

Hi,

Make sure you are using the Symantec drivers for the device. Run tapeinst.exe to do so. Also make sure that the latest drivers are loaded from LiveUpdate.

If this doesn't work, download the IBM tape tools and run them against the drive to rule out possible hardware problems. You would need to stop the BE services first.

Thanks!
