On one of our sites we have had a lot of similar problems running NetWorker
7.3.3 with a STL L700 library using HP LTO3 tapedrives. The same type of
library with IBM LTO2 drives did not cause any trouble.
Several times a week tapes were stuck in the drives (sometimes only one,
sometimes more). Eject was not possible without powering off the tapedrive.
In our opinion this should be a hardware problem, and maybe it is. But
after updating the server and storagenodes to Networker 7.4 SP2 the
problems have disappeared.
Problems like these are often resolved by tweaking the timer values in
the jukebox resource. In particular, slightly longer values for
eject_sleep and unload_sleep might help.
