I have configured my hp StorageWorks on circular & sequential mode and configured the device on the arcServe 2000 v7. Arcserve detects the tapes on all the slots and identifies them correctly. It makes the backup correctly but after this it does not switch to the next tape. Any idea over here?

sequential mode???
Isn't that where the library automatically is supposed to swap tapes and it will not allow the application to control tape movement???
Perhaps the library has a random mode where it will give control of tape movement over to the application and so let ARCserve move tapes around when it needs to.
If it has not been done Device Configuration Utilty has to be run, and Tape Library Option might be needed.
If you don't have the updates installed now's the time.
