I need a solution
I am using BE 2012 to take backups on IBM DAT 72 DIGITAL DATA STORAGE for taking backups. Recently the backup failed giving error message "The Job failed with the following error: Physical Volume Library Drive not available". There are no amber indications in the drive. When I tried to eject the cartridge it failed to eject, so I restarted the services the drive came online. When I fired the backup manually to check it the drive goes offline and throws the error.
Read some posts pertaining to this in the web and there was a suggestion to powercycle the drive, Suppose if I power cycle the Tape drive do I need to shutdown the server, Please provide me some suggestions to fix the error. Thanks in advance.
