Hi,
our tape library has a defect and i must change to another one.
I have changed it in our storage policy:
 

Is this enough or do I have to consider anything else?

Regards
Dennis

Hi,
i have changed the library.
This is the job:

i get chunk errors.

The job takes tapes one of another and marks them full with no size of stored data:

I have cleaned the drives and reset and restart them. Same behavior.

Hi,

sorry. Actually not. First we had migrated our Commcell to a new VM. 
Actually we are prepare our second media agent. We must install a raid controller. After that we will start the migration to the new one.
