Problem with a HP DLT VS160

Arnaud_Leclercq
Not applicable
Hi,
I try to install a Hp DLT Vs160 with Backup Exec 9.1 Rev 4691.

The problem is when I try to make a backup or a label Media, I receive an error message:
Final error: 0xa0008101 - Invalid Physical Volume Library Argument.

I've tried this: http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/280016.htm
but that doesn't solve my problem, I always got the error...

I saw that I need to enter the type of the tape in the "Bar code Rules", but I don't find this type in the list...

Any helps or ideas will be really appreciated.

Thx

Regards,

Arnaud.
