error requesting media (tpreq) (98)

I received above error and backup job failed with ec-98 I have verified following things from library and media server:

1.Communication with library and vice versa ,robtest looks good.

2.Library side query acs server looks good.

3.all lsm,lmu,cap,port are online on ACSLS library.

What could be the reason to fail job with EC-98 there are multiple job failed on most of the media servers.

Does the problem from library end ACSLS.

Thanks.

Have you tried stopping NetBackup, ensuring all Netbackup processes are down on this media server and then restarting?

Have u try to mount and dismount the same tape through robtest and acs? This will tell u if u have a bad media or something with the silo.
