Hello, everyone.
I have a Dell PV-124T /w LTO tape running BackExec 11d on Windows 2003 server.
All inserted media (LTO) are not listed under online media. They are listed as unknown media under Robotic Lib/Dell/Slots/1-8. The Robotic Lib lists Dell1 - IBM1 & Slots. I guess this is an IBM drive branded as Dell. One thing I noticed was that the IBM1 is constantly flashing as "In Use" .
I ran the Inventory, scan, rename media.....I tried all available commands to get the tape online. They are in there but not online now.
What do I need to do to get the tapes show up in the media as online so I can do backup?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
