No -- you have 5 tapes in the loader.

Now when I give the below command
#mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
/dev/nst0: No medium found
mt: The device is offline (not powered on, no tape ?).

Please advice and guide me.

Err, was there a tape in the drive?  I'm guessing there wasn't.  You

need to use 'mtx' to manipulate the loader. 'mt' just deals with the tape drive itself.
