Veritas 10d - Reading AIT4 tapes as Cleaning Media

[rickrune]

I am running Veritas 10d Backup Exec SP2 and the system is taking AIT4 tapes, reading them, and then marking them as Cleaning Media.

I have checked to see if the media was actually Cleaning Media and if I made a mistake, but they are regular AIT4 tapes.

Please advise,

Rick

UPdate the SCSI card driver and latest veritas drivers.

Usually this means the tapes cant be read or the header cant be read and it marks it as a cleaning tape..since a normal cleaning tape has not header

Also check system log for any event related to library or scsi card

Alright then. I updated the drivers but I'll have to wait until tonight to reboot. I'll let you know how it goes. Thank you.
