    Hi Marianne,

    thank you for your reply, I have solved my issue, the issue come from my Tape Server DL500,

    my tape was not found (hidden) in row1-colomn1, so I change the location to another slot.

     

    Thanks,
    Asep. Y

The commands in my post above would tell you that NBU had no knowledge of this tape.

If your tape library has a MAP (Media Access Port) you should rather use that to insert new media. This will ensure that media is automatically inserted into correct slots.
