Hello Pierre, SAP DB is using the configured autoloader command only after finishing a tape, so you must have your first tape loaded, before starting the backup. If you have two use more than two tapes, you should also find an mt command, that changes to the next tape regardless of the tape number.

I recently installed a tape autoloader on a SAPDB (7.3.0.43) Linux server. I have full control of my autoloader and tape device with my SAPDB admin user (the sqd<SID> user ).� My tape load command looks like this "mtx -f /dev/sg0 load 1" (This would load tape 1). When I put this command into the autoloader field of the DBMGUI, its not possible to load a tape before the start of a backup. The backup takes a long time to start and then gives the following error message: 2003-12-15 20:08:18 1407 ERR 11000 page0io_ I/O error: No medium found 2003-12-15 20:08:18 1411 ERR 52012 SAVE error occured, basis_err 3700 It seems to me SAPDB is maybe looking for a tape in the drive (/dev/st0) without managing to load first. Any ideas ? Can SAPDB autoload tapes on Linux ?
