Why are you trying to import the tape? If it is a catalog backup you should
be recovering it, I believe. It has been a while since I've had to do this
so my knowledge is a little rusty.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU not seeing tape in tape drive

Hi,

I have an issue where i'm on a dark site trying to get Netbackup 7 ready for
a DR test. I have a server with Windows 2003 R2 and a directly SCSi attached
LTO4 tape drive. The drive can be seen in Device Manager and the driver is
installed. I installed NBU7, started it and straight away NBU picked up the
new drive. So, I have a catalog tape from a few weeks ago to play with which
was in the drive. In device monitor it could see the recorded media and in
Reports and Images on Media it came back with the catalog name etc. 

Now when I added the tape into MM and then tried to import the tape it
errored with no media found in device please verify and then went on to the
requesting next resource...

Can anybody suggest anything as I've run out of ideas.

Thanks,
Chris
