Hi all,
Recently I swapped a Dell Powervault TL2000 LTO-4 with an LTO-6 TL2000 including LTO-6 Tape Drives.
I duplicated the settings between the two devices
I duplicated the virtual settings of the drive etc in backup exec
I performed an Inventory and initialized the drives
I updated the firmware on the library and drives
The first 2-3 backups ran fine.
Then I started getting the error: "You have loaded a cartridge of a type that is read-only in this drive".
From what I can gather it appears that the backup job is placing any tape to be placed in the drive immediately under the media set which places a one week overwrite protection over the tape.
I then placed every tape under scratch media...nothing.
One other thing to add is that 4 of the tapes currently say (End marker Unreadable)
Although, these tapes are not being used in the failing jobs as I have checked the slots etc.
We currently have no backups running at this point so any help greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Steve
