Hi,
I'm not sure what's going on here. We are having the following issue with brand new LTO6 tapes.
A llitle bit of history. We have an infrastructure with LTO5 Tapes and TD5 drives, and two TD6 drives. So, we have just began to use LTO6 tapes. The policy storaged for the policy you can find in the description, was modified to use LTO6 tapes and it works fine. It only takes the LTO6 tapes. Those tapes goes to the TD6 drives as they should, but then, nothing works as expected. There is a robot operation failed, the tape appear as complete and finally, the paths on the drive, goes down.
The behaviour for the LTO5 tapes seems to be fine, so there must be some kind of misconfiguration related with the LTO6 that we are missing.
Here is the log for the operation
