    Barcode looks good - looks like standard clening tape barcode.

    This is the same as putting the tape in the drive by hand

    m s28 d2

    Initiating MOVE_MEDIUM from address 1027 to 501
    move_medium failed
    sense key = 0x5, asc = 0x30, ascq = 0x0, INCOMPATIBLE MEDIUM INSTALLED

    This is hardware error

    TLD(0) key = 0x5, asc = 0x30, ascq = 0x0, INCOMPATIBLE MEDIUM INSTALLED

    For some reason, the drive does not like the tape.

    Could be a firmware issue, or drive issue, or tape issue.

    It was working before you say, so very odd, but it is not working now, and that error cannot be caused by netbackup.

    I recommend you speak with the hardware vendor for advice.

    Does robtest work ?

    If so, try loading the cleaning tape into the drive from robtest.

    eg

    m sX dY

    (Move slot x to Drive y)

     

    m dY sX  (move Drive Y to slot X to unload)

    I tried robtest command  to move the cleaning media into drive but is giving error

    Initiating MOVE_MEDIUM from address 1027 to 501
    move_medium failed
    sense key = 0x5, asc = 0x30, ascq = 0x0, INCOMPATIBLE MEDIUM INSTALLED

    System Event logs- ID 7

    TLD(0) key = 0x5, asc = 0x30, ascq = 0x0, INCOMPATIBLE MEDIUM INSTALLED

    Seems it doe not like your cleaning tape.

    Is it compatible with LTO4 drives?

    Have you used this cleaning tape before in these drives? (Successfully?)

    This error is coming from outside of NetBackup. Incompatible Medium Installed. Have you checked that the cleaning tape and the drive are actually compatible?

    Hi Andy, Thanks for reply. Actually we are sitting on remote location & dont able to view the actual cleaning tape. As per site support its a cleaning tape HP Ultrium universal cleaning media. And we performed last cleaning before 6 month ago. Dont why this time we are getting this error. We are going to connect with site tech & ask him to send a snap of cleaning media & let you update.

    Thanks u all for your suggesion & help.

    Eject the cleaning tape from the library and check the actual barcode. There is something else besides CLNU01 on the label that says to the robot that the tape is not compatible with the drive.
