Hello all,
I was getting errors on my tape library that the hard picker was jammed and errors of an orphaned tape. This was causing all backups to fail.
One tape was found to be having issues in the picker, while it wasn't jammed it was apparent it should be removed as it had scrapes on it from...
Despite what df -h said, as well as what all other errors displayed and what technical documentation suggested, what resolved this for me was deleting a previous large backup.

df -h
the backup directory is only 11% used
The filesystem overall shows 79% used
It looks like all backups are successful, aside from the filesystem backup kicked off via the Avaya call management system under cmsadm. Unfortunately no error to follow as it got cancelled after taking too long...

I believe we use tape because of the reference to cpio, it's possible though we use both because of the mount points I found. We have NetApp and that goes to tape so, tape? We use CMS R17
The logs I'm being referred to aren't helping me isolate what the issue is, maybe someone here will understand? Has this happened to anyone, what fixed it for you, or what should I do?
At the end of the backup through Terminal Emulator it stated:
