The eject operation has completed with errors
Backup failed and got the log showing below:

Most all the tapes are full and waiting for the expiration to clean up, I assign one available tape in our oracle backup. Backup completed after adding.
What I've notice on the log, though it got completed, job still looking for DAT003 before proceeding to other tape.

Question1: DAT003 has no data, so we decided to remove the tape by ejecting from the console but it return an error(The eject operation has completed with errors). When we check the slot, tape was in the media. Why the tape was in the media even though its not being use?
Your robot seems to be faulty - no commands are going to work as the robot is not responding:
mode_sense failed sense key = 0x2, asc = 0x4, ascq = 0x81, UNIT IS OFF_LINE
Try to reboot/powercycle the robot. If that does not fix it, call your hardware vendor.
