Hi All,

We use data domain VTL libray. TSM Server was rebooted and tape drives device files updated on that day. I could see the all the drives were in polling status. I tried to update all drives and path to online. After that I ran audit librray with barcode option , audit library process failed with below error. Shall i delete all the old drive,path defenitions and define again.?. Please advise.

Try a delete, then redefine.

Also, see if VTL service on the DD is running BEFORE you delete. May save you some time.
