I have the Dell 130T and for some reason, one tape is showing the following. 27 Bar code: 000068 Cleaning slot: No General Media label: 000068 Media description: Used capacity: 35.7 GB Available capacity: 16.0 TB Total capacity: 16.0 TB Bytes written: 35.7 GB Compression ratio...

Anyone ever had this problem where you insert a tape, and as its in the drive, it never changes to "Loaded". I'm thinking my drive has gone bad since my last back a couple weeks ago. I've had the drive for about 3-4 years now. Just curious If something isn't communicating correctly...

Thanks for all your patience by the way SQLBill. I have checked all cables and made sure everything was in its place. When I installed Veritas (i've done this a few times now), and each time, I chose a different driver. First time, I did the recommended and let Veritas Drivers be used. The...

Maybe i'm not explaining as much as I should. I have disabled the drives one by one, which enabled me to test each drive verifying that they all in fact, had the same result. Nothing could have been sprayed, sucked, etc into the library because the library is in a very secured area on a...

Simply go to Devices >> Slots. By clicking once on the tape, the bottom panel will show you Used Capacity, Available Capacity, Total Capacity, Bytes writtena nd Compression Ratio. Hope this helps Michael Morgan EDS personal url: www.corpusmotorsports.com

Plus, as I said before, its 4 Drives. All the drives wouldn't just stop working at the same time. Its something I cant figure out and its killing me Michael Morgan EDS personal url: www.corpusmotorsports.com

I'm actually afraid to use a "Brand New" tape since its labeled all the tapes in the DLT as Bad Media (which equals 26!) so far. Michael Morgan EDS personal url: www.corpusmotorsports.com

Yes, all four tape drives have been cleaned and show "Unloaded" currently. Its eating up my cleaning tapes fast too. Went through 2 brand new cleaning tapes over the weekend Michael Morgan EDS personal url: www.corpusmotorsports.com

Tried to inventory a tape (1 tape) and here is what I got... ----- TapeAlert Events ----- Warning - A severe error occurred while reading or writing data. This job may not have been successfully completed. Robotic Library: DELL 1 Drive: QUANTUM 0 Slot: 9 Critical - The tape drive needs...

Yes, i've tried cleaning the drives since there are 4 total drives in the library. Nothing seems to work. I tried a TestRun, it actually showed a Byte Count. I then tried to do the Real run and it gets stuck on "Loading Media", but media is in the drive. The media is from the...

I had backups running very good for a long time, but here recently, everything took at dive. System specs below: Dell PowerVault 130T Tape Library w/ 4 Quantum DLT7000's Adaptec AHA-2944UW PCI SCSI Controller Adaptec AIC-786X PCI SCSI Controller Dell PERC 2 Raid Controller QLogic...

The cleaning media is in the slot directly above the portal, which, in Backup Exec, you can not see the slot. If you can, I just dont know where. Its just not a part of the number sequence (slots 1-27). When the drive does need cleaning, it will automatically pull the cleaning media from the...

I'm trying to clean a drive by right clicking on the drive itself under the device Tab and within 20 seconds, I get the alert: Source: Backup Exec Type: Error Event ID : 34113 Backup Exec Alert: Job Failed (Server: "EDSDMSWEB01") (Job: "Clean Drive 0002") Clean Drive 0002...
