Problem reading tapes following library upgrade

Post Problem reading tapes following library upgrade 
Hello list member.



I have an issue with one my tape libraries. I recently upgraded the
library, from SDLT to SDLT 320, and have been requested to restore some
directories from an older backup (few months).



The problem I am having is that Networker loads the tapes in the drives and
it stays there forever. It seems likes it cannot read from the former tape
format. What am I missing here???



Tech Info:



Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650)

NetWorker 6.1.4.Build.562 Network Edition



tape0_d1(J) sdlt320

tape1_d1(J) sdlt320



Messages being displayed are like:



Slot `15' is being loaded into drive `/dev/ntape/tape0_d1'

nsrjb: About to read label on /dev/ntape/tape1_d1

box_display: `-' for drive `/dev/ntape/tape0_d1'

Jukebox handle being closed at port scsidev < at > 0.0.1

About to release Robot arm lock

load sleep for 4 seconds





I even set the logical type as sdlt in the device config pane, to no avail.



What gives?



Regards and thanks,



Serge

I should have also mentioned that, beside the obvious, ie. bad tapes,
could there be other reasons? The clients are starting to have doubts
about the reliability of the backups.

Any ideas? Suggestions? Anyone?

Regards and thanks,

Serge
