Connect the tape drive directly to the BE Server.

Thank you for your reply. actually it is connected directly to the server. but the Veritas installed on VM no on the physical server.

I think you are using VMware right?

Do you present your tape library to VM?

If yes, do you tape library in Windows Device ManageR?

This is a limitation of loading BE in a VM.  You would not be able to access a physical tape drive.  This is not supported by eiher VMware or Hyper-V.
