Hi,
Have been running Veritas9.1 sp1 with a PowerVault 132T LTO2 Tape library with no problems at all.
Last week I added the extra option of a 2nd tape drive and I am unable to get backup exec to use the 2nd tape at all. When directing a backup to it, the job just hangs with a status that keeps alternating between "loading media" & "queued", even though there is overwriteable media available in the library. After a while the jobs times out with the following message...
a0008212 - Library error - invalid element address
Seems like even though Bexec recognises the additional tape drive it just doesn't agree with it.
Have tried removing devices from bexec and re-configuring with no change to end result. Have tried upgrading to latest IBM ULTRIUM-TD2 drivers from veritas with no change. Have upgraded PVault132T robotic library drivers from dell with no success. Have upgraded to Bexec 9.1sp2 with no success. I'm thinking of upgrading firmware next?
I have library expansion option already installed (unless I need another one?).
Any further ideas would be much appreciated.
