E906 error (No media found in media pools/media is not idle)

Posted: 06 May 2012, 02:55
by SCTgary
I have made multiple attempts to resolve this issue. I have applied every configuration change to the backup job you mention in your help file but am still getting a E906 error (Media not available). Prior to this it mentions in the log that 'No media found in media pools, or the current media is not idle' The log is listed in the body below. Can you please help ? Thank you for your time!!

I assume that your configuration worked fine for some time. Please try the following steps:
  1. Reset the RSM database, as described at http://www.cristalink.com/fsrm/hh.aspx? ... sm#corrupt ("How do I fix a corrupted Removable Storage database").
  2. Open then close Microsoft Backup (NTBackup) once.
  3. Disable all RSM libraries, except of Firestreamer Tape Drive, as described at
    http://www.cristalink.com/fsrm/hh.aspx? ... sm#disable ("How do I disable unused Removable Storage libraries").
  4. Run the Firestreamer-RM Wrapper backup task again.
