The standalone DLT4000 (Dell PowerVault 110T) tape drive that we used for backing up the catalog was exhibiting problems yesterday and EYEWI was refusing to recognize its presence on the SCSI chain. I replaced the drive with a DLT1 drive, reconfiguring NetBackup in the process (NetBackup doesn’t directly use the drive, but it does know about it).

I also removed the Overland DLT library from the system and powered it off, again telling NetBackup about the changes. I’ve removed most of the DLT media from the media manager except for a few tapes that seem to be “assigned” and can’t be deleted.
