Hi @rutyna 

Did the tape actually stuck on a drive in your tape library? 

I have similar error like yours; my tape actually stuck in the drive of tape library, and Commvault marked that drive as offline. I couldn’t manually eject the tape out. I ended up replace that drive.

Hi @rutyna, @Orazan, @TD89!

we are facing exactly the same issue as described within the initial post. However, restarting media agent didnt help. Were you able to resolve or investigate further this conundrum?
