I forgot to mention that I was using the LTO tapes without a barcode label.
I tried using one of the DLT barcode label on a LTO tape ,but in both the
cases, it was giving "INCOMPATIBLE MEDIUM" error when I tried to mount it
through the "robtest" utility.

Does any one know if  it's possible to use the LTO tapes without a barcode
label ? OR if  the barcode labels are a must, then, is there anything
special about the LTO barcode label which specifies the media type ?

Thanks.......

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Error # 96 with Seagate LTO Drives


Hello Group,

I  installed 4 Seagate LTO (SEAGATE ULTRIUM06242-XXX)  Drives to an existing
L700 Tape Library , with an existing 4 DLT7000 Drives.

Configured the  drives in the Device manager, and created a new Storage unit
for the 4 LTO  drives.  But, when I try to do a backup using this new
storage unit, I get Error # 96.  Has anyone come across this  problem?   Any
solution or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Here is my configuration:

1. I did modify st.conf for the Seagate LTO Drives
2. I can see all the LTO drives using sgscan.
3. Added the drives to the exiting robot with the correct index and device
names.
4. Created a new storage unit with Robot type "TLD" and density "hcart". 
5. Added new LTO tapes with Media type:' 1/2" Cartridge tape' and Robot type
: "TLD"  and the system assigned these tapes into a new volume group. ( I am
not sure if the same library can have different  Volume group for different
media types  ???)
6. Restarted Netbackup server after doing all the configuration.

Do I miss anything here ?

I am using Netbackup datacenter 3.4 ( with Veritas patch 34_)  on Solaris
2.6.


Thanks,
Shyam
