We are receiving an error when trying to duplicate images to tape. Looking thru the tape logs, we are getting these errors:
error requesting media, TpErrno=Character device name for drive is not a character device
error requesting media, TpErrno=Robot/LTI protocol error
Our tape drives are showing that they are up, but "control" is showing TLD, I believe this usually says ACTIVE
I have checked that we have good media in our library. This is from our netbackup applicance running 4.1.0.1, appliance model 5240.
I have power cycled the tape library, but unfortunately we cannot reboot the appliance at the moment as we are backing up a large client. Any ideas on this one?

We were able to get this resolved by using nbrb -resetAll command, as 1 of our tape drives went out on us and I had to replace it. Apparently Netbackup had reservations on the drives that may have been uncleared.
