I just became reponsible for a Backup Exec 8.5 (Rev. 3571) server with an HP C7200-8000 Library attached to it. The C7200 has a bad tape drive which has been disabled.
My question is every time I fill the slots up with tapes and run an inventory it labels the tapes as (Cleaning Media) and the backups will not write to them.
I have checked and there is only one slot allocated as "Cleaning Drive". Has anyone heard of this problem before, I'm assuming it has something to do with Media Sets but I'm not sure, any help would be greatly appreciated (as we currently don't have Veritas support).
 
I have seen this problem before. We replaced the hardware and everything started working fine.
