MEDIUM REMOVAL PREVENT

Hello All,

we have a ESL E-Series here and I got the following message when I try move one tape from tape drive to slot " move_medium failed MEDIUM REMOVAL PREVENTED" I'm using Veritas Netbackup, I checked the service "removable storage" and it's already disable, It's happen in different tape drives but some tapes drives don't have this error, we only can pull out those tapes if we stop the library on the library panel and then request to pull that... do you have any Idea what's happen? Windows 2000 are controlling the library. maybe some SCSI error?

Thnx

Re: MEDIUM REMOVAL PREVENT

This is a software problem
Relase media from your software or use LTT to take removal prevented.

Re: MEDIUM REMOVAL PREVENT

yeah I though the same, but I stoped all services from Netbackup, service "removable storage" is stoped, and the tape still stuck showing this error to move... I just can move that if I stop the library on from panel and then move that... I just ran the LTT test but it's showing this message: is that message "removal has been prevented" is like a option? can I remove that somewhere?

thank you again sir

I just ask to tape handler remove the tape from those drives and after that power recycle the library and MDR so I will run another LTT test. I'm freaking out about this case
