SolutionYou maybe need patches or driver updates to support LTO4 drives.
Hope this helps!

Re: Cannot use tapes in autoloader
Most HP autoloaders have an option for "Autoload" that is off by default but if turned on will automatically load that first tape. Another option for "circular mode" controls whether the autoloader automatically reloads the first tape or stops when the last tape is unloaded.
If you are using an HP autoloader and used mc to move the first tape to the drive then the autoloader probably switched out of autoload mode and won't load the next tape for you either. You need to use the front panel to load the first tape. The default setting for most autoloaders is "Autodetect" and when a move media command is received autodetect assumes that you are using media changer aware backup software and turns off autoload. You can disable that behavior by changing the settings to Sequential instead of Autodetect but then the robotic controller is disabled and mc won't work.
