Cannot format Current media for use with LTFS

[triturbo]

I'm getting this error in the HPE LTFS Configuration tool when I'm trying to format my cartridges to LTFS. I'm using Ultrium 3000 with a freshly opened pack of 5 HP LTO-5 cartridges. (C7975A). Thank you for your help.

Sorry, I have no idea what's written as well. There's no way to copy it and translate it either, so I'm at a loss. Thank you for your time.

@triturbo,

The error looks more of an issue with the Tape. If you have bought a batch of them, let us know if you have tried a diff media from that bunch. If yes, then try getting a replacement of 1 tape for testing and test it. Also to check if the tape is good. Run LTT Drive assessment test and also a read & write test on any of those tapes and that should tell us which HW is causing it (Tape or the Drive)

Hope this helps.

Thanks
