hi again

when i insert old catriage, one i used in the old tape

i get this

authentication failed on connection to the server.

another issue:

in the update from 9.0 to 9.1 i got

catalog migration failed due to sql bcp load failure.

thanks

Sounds like either the tape is still protected, or for an Append Job, belongs to the wrong media set

As for the upgrade error, I don't think I've ever heard of that one.  if you inventory a tape created before the upgrade, does the OPP and APP look right?
