Tape Drives - (no Media)
When the be15 services start my tape drives show a tape inside of them (see pic 1) Then a few mins later all of the drives go to status (No Media) from there any backups to tape just queue forever. Any backups to disk flow through just fine and complete. I have rebooted and resyned the server and drives. i have done my updates to BE. Rescanned the Drives, Inventory Slots, cleaned the drives. The Actual Robotic library doesnt show any issues on Drive 2-4. Errros in the ADAMM.log show the following when i attempted to do a backup and it was queued. 14200] 10/26/18 14:55:00.326 PvlDevice::DriveUtilThreadProc() - unable to determine media dismount slot.
