Please show us output of 's d'
I think the tapes may be unloaded already, there is just nowhere to put them.
The only other alternative is to go open the robot door, manually unload all drives, take these tapes out of the robot, close robot, check that it does an inventory of itself at this point, then inventory NBU.
Now add removed tapes back via the CAP.

You can see that drives 5 and 7 contain tapes, but that the robot does not list 'source' slot addresses for them.
Please go back to advice given over the last 2 days:
Suspend all backups - NBU will unmount all tapes that can be unmounted.
Go to the robot, open the door, manually unload all tapes that are still in drives.
Take these tapes out of the robot, close robot,
Check that it does an inventory of itself at this point, then inventory NBU.
Now add removed tapes back via the CAP.
Let us know how it goes....

I am surprised to see that you have marked your own post as solution, though in 24 replies there were multiple times it was mentioned that it is a hardware issue.
I guess Robot is hardware

Hello Martin.
Sorry for this, by mistake i did this..
Your post should be mark as a solution but how i change this.
05-07-2013 06:25 AM
You need to clear existing solution first - only you can do it.
After that you should be able to mark a different solution.
