What is currently occurring is the backup software does not have the Autoloader option and views the autoloader as a single tape unit. I have the autoloader in stacker mode and when the backup job finishes the tape is 'ejected' but the a random tape is then loaded instead of the next days tape. I have labeled all the tapes according to the day of the week and when I change tapes I run the inventory so the autoloader knows what tapes are loaded and where.
Sorry for being long winded.
John
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionIn stacker mode the autoloader is supposed to start with whichever tape is currently loaded and when that tape is ejected automatically load the tape in the next sequentially numbered slot.
You indicate that a "random" tape is getting loaded. Does that mean that the tape being loaded isn't from the next higher numbered slot?

The unit loads a random tape instead of the next tape in sequence as it is supposed to in stacker mode.

Re: Autoloader 1/9 and B/E 8.6 tape selection
I've verified that the HP 1/9 is supposed to move a tape from the next full slot to the drive after the unload.
If you can give me the make, model, and firmware revision of the autoloader you are using I'll see if I can run some tests we have quite a few different autoloaders around.

Re: Autoloader 1/9 and B/E 8.6 tape selection
The C7145 product comes standard with a barcode reader, and the 2.33 firmware is currently the latest. The only known issue with the C7145 current firmware is detecting blue cartridges without labels. Occasionally the barcoded will see these as empty slots. The workaround is to always use a label. We hope to have future firmware which will resolve this.
Which version of BUE & which OS are you using?

Re: Autoloader 1/9 and B/E 8.6 tape selection
(the pdf says "an integrated barcode reader automatically keeps track of tapes").
The older 1/8 products (418, 718, 818), and the new VS80 tape autoloader 1/8 do NOT have barcode reading.
