Greg, Yes I inventoried the robot.  In fact, I even deleted the media
and the re-inventoried the robot to make sure barcode rules were working
correctly, which they were...  The LTO2 Media all show Active or
Available, and are in the correct volume pool and volume group...

This might sound dumb, but after you moved the library did you run a
inventory from netbackup? I have seen this error before when netbackup
thinks a slot has one type of media and it find another.

Hi all, having an issue that is stumping me...

This past weekend we moved one of our tape libraries.
It has LTO1 and LTO2 drives and media in it.

I can see all the drives okay, and LTO1 backups are working fine.
When I kick off an LTO2 backup job, it immediately freezes any tape it
tries to load.  If I let it keep running, it just keeps freezing more
and more tapes.

The only thing it says is...FREEZING media ID LL1535, it is unmountable
and cannot be used for backups.

Media is in correct volume pool, volume group, barcode rules are
correct, and I even checked that it was loaded into the library
correctly, i.e. not loaded backwards and write protect tab is not set.
Furthermore, we haven't made any changes to the above listed attributes.
I have tried stopping and starting NetBackup several times, no help.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Taylor
