Can format ok, barcode/label fails

decode data encryption caps page failed - not external data encryption control capable

There are no encryption keys configured, let me know if I can grab any info

Code: 
root@pbs172:~# proxmox-tape status --drive drive1

can you post the full task log of the barcode-label? also, did you already check for drive firmware upgrades?
 
Hope I get the right info, as far as firmware, I think its the latest from the dell site that had LTO4 included with the library update firmware.

Not sure how comfortable I might feel trying to shoehorn another firmware into it, even tho it is IBM

I'll look around again, I was ok till this last update..

Gonna guess the library has the whole encryption wrapped up with its "key" for encryption and prevents the drive

I have look in various places and have not found any firmware to make this work.

I don't use any keys within pbs, but guess we still check?

ok after looking at it again, it seem you try an LTO3 tape ? this is not supported, LTO-4 is the absolute minimum (even LTO-4 drives do not everything we need sometimes)
when you insert an LTO-3 drive into an LTO-4 it uses the LTO-3 feature set for most things, which is just to little..
 
Ahh.. I can understand that one. Makes sense.

I have same type library with LTO6 units on baroes, was hesitant to pull it for use here till I was sure.

Like most mom and pop operations IT budget is $0, maybe I can get them to spurge on a few LTO4 tapes

Thanks for your insight and help
