Hello All,
I'm currently running into a situation where I'm trying to restore a file system with NetVault 8.5.3 installed on Mac OS X 10.6.8. The tape library I'm currently running is a Tandberg Magnum 2x24. When I go to the media list for the restore job, all the tapes that I need are listed there. However, they all show as offline. I am not able to bring those tapes to go online by any means known to mean. I'm under the impression that all these tapes need to be online in order for the restore to take place. Also to note, for whatever reason, I am not able to control the robotic arm of the Tandberg library through the software. I'm loading all the tapes manually into the drive with the panel interface on the Tandberg itself. The tapes are all labeled with barcodes. In the device management all tapes show up in the library as UNKNOWN with the barcode number next to it in parenthesis (NFW***). I can provide screenshots if you think it would give you a better idea of my dilema. I thank you all in the community in advance for any input you may provide.
Thanks!
