...it sounds like you rebooted something and it caused the paths to be lost between the tape library and the library controller. Because of this, tape drives go in a lost state due to the unknown paths. Sounds like you need to reconfigure the paths for your drives...

They are the same level 4.2.20 and are configured the same. One of them is working great but the other is having problems mounting tapes. It will attempt to mount a tape and if a drive is not available it will generate a "server media mount not possible" error and go on to another file to back up. The activity log shows "unable to open drive /dev/rmt*". Did I miss something in the configuration? Thanks!
