issue afetr tape drive change

Greg_Henneborn

I recently changed a defective tape drive in my server with the same tape drive. I started up the server then went into Veritas. In the devices tab under stand-alone-drives the tape drive appeared disabled so I enabled it successfully. When I try to run an inventory job it fails whith the follow message:

Final error: 0xe0008115 - Physical Volume Library Drive or Robot paused, offline, or disabled.

Under stand-alone-drives the tape drive does not appear to be paused, offline, or disabled.
Also in the device manager the tape drive appears to be fine.

What else can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

each tape drive is unique in the BE device database. If you change a tape drive, you must delete the tape device within Backup Exec, and run the device configuration Wizaard again or reboot the server to rediscover the replacement.
