SC DPM 2012 SP1 does not display cleaning tape in console

Hi everyone,
I'm running DPM and have a IBM TS3100 tape library.
I have installed a LTO5 compatible IBM cleaning tape into the library. But a cannot see this tape in console.
In web interface, I can see it as "Unknown" tape in slot 15. There was an alert that says me about "possibly cleaning tape in slot 15". But in DPM console, slot 15 is not present. 
How can I solve this problem?

Dear EugenBerend,
I time ago I dumped in into a challange that was similar what you are facing. The only difference if that I had a TL2000 tape from DELL adn you have an IBM TS3100. The good thing is that DELL's hardware is based on the Component from IBM meaning that the
solution that I found may work for you to.
Please have a look at this blogpost I wrote and let me know if the problem was solved or still persists.

  • Installing DPM 2012 SP1 onto Server 2012 R2 (Compatible / Supported)?

    Hi,
    Can DPM 2012 SP1 be installed onto Server 2012 R2? i.e. is it compatible and also is it supported by Microsoft?
    If so are there any official documents or links provided by Microsoft for this installation scenario?
    I would have installed DPM 2012 R2 onto Server 2012 R2 but this is not possible due to DPM 2012 R2 not supporting Server 2008 protected servers!
    Thanks,
    Microsoft Partner

    Can you tell me how many Windows 2008 servers you need to protect and what is preventing you from upgrading them to Windows 2008 R2 ?

    Hi,
    Please help me with the below issue, iam trying to deploy Service pack 1 on Windows 7 , 32 Bit OS
    SP1 does not get installed when the machine is set to Japanese Language, software push through sccm 2012 , it does gets installed of installed manually, by remoting into the machine

    Hi Friends,
    we are deploying the SP1 via SCCM 2012 , and the success rate is around 50 %, its a Light touch installation where user will initiate the installation via Software Center ( Web based )
    i was able to gather few errors , and this are the errors which failed during SP1 Installation 0x800f0828,
    some errors which sccm reports display are 
    11171
    10008
    10021-
    17031 - 
    1602 - User Cancelled installation
    113 - No more internal file identifiers available
    10070 - File handle reference is no longer available
    10050 - A socket operation encountered a dead network
    11170  - The task sequence manager could not successfully complete execution of the task sequence
    i could not find the reason for some of the errors, also i am looking for a fix/woraround if any
    Also i have noticed that in few computers the task seq failed at a place where after the sp1 installation a reboot happens and then PGP BYPASS utility is uninstalled, it did not start the PGP bypass uninstall after reboot
    is there a way to cut short the Task seq and keep it simple ?
    right now its like this 
    1. checking for prerequisite : checks for OS Name and OS version
    2. installs PGP Bootgaurd Bypass
    3. System Restart
    4. Installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1
    5. Final Restart
    6. uninstall PGP Bootgaurd Bypass

  • External display on late 2012 macmini does not go to sleep.

    External display on late 2012 macmini does not go to sleep, instead the content freezes. After Pram reset it does go to sleep, till it undergoes next system sleep cycle (hibernatemode 25). I need to suspend it to disk because it is an offgrid setup and the power needs to be cut between Sessions. Display is connected to the hdmi port. Runing OS 10.8.4. Reinstalling did not help, neither. I have struggled with this for half a year now, it accured about 2 month after first use of the machine.
    Thank you for possible help!

    Next on my list would be an installation from scracht - wich i would obviously love to avoid
    The bewildering thing is that through a pram reset i can get the display to sleep once again...
    Maybe a hardware prob?
    Might want to check using the thunderbolt port instead, as soon as i can afford the adaptor.
    Anyway i will go to offline world for some time now, on a crazy bicycle tour trough remote eastern europe.
    I would love to hear from you on an occasion of a peek to cyberworld during my trip!

  • Connection dropped between DPM and Agent during consistency check, following DPM 2012 SP1 to DPM 2012 R2

    Recently I have updated a DPM 2012 SP1 standalone server to DPM 2012 R2. That it’s self was a challenge... Following the upgrade most of the protection groups required consistency checks. For some time I have been having problems performing these consistency
    checks on remote servers over a 10Meg link.
    On the DPM server I would kick off a ping to the remote host, then start a consistency check. Within a few seconds I would start to get dropped pings, and very large ping response times, 3000ms plus. Within 3 minutes the pings would time out completely and
    no connections can be made to the remote server, RDP etc. However any other server on the network can connect to the remote client. Eventually the DPM jobs times out and sometime later the pings also return.
    The resolution to this has taken some digging but this is what I have found. The DPM agent update does not seem to fully work and requires a reinstall. Here is my process:
    Logon to remote client server
    Install .net 4 (a raw install of the client requires this, may not be needed when done via DPM)
    Via Add Remove Programs, remove DPM agent
    Clean up Reg
    Delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager"
    Delete "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\DPM**" (However this key is not there for me)
    Back onto DPM Server
    Modified protection groups as required to remove all instances of the client server
    Remove Agent for client server
    Install agent via DPM (watch for the glitch right at the end where it does a failed, then succeed…)
    REBOOT client server
    Add back into protection group
    Consistency check kicked off automatically
    This seems to have fixed the issue.

    Hi,
    The prerequisite required for DPM 2012 SP1 that must be installed is a re-rerelease of UR3 which is 4.1.3317.0 - please download and install the update specified.

  • [Solved] nm-applet does not display in normal user's panel

    I installed Arch Linux yesterday. Today, I am trying to get some of the refinements working. I installed OpenBox as a standalone window manager. I got several things working exactly the way I wanted as root, such as networkmanager, nm-applet, and pypanel. When I startx as root, the nm-applet is properly displayed in the pypanel.
    Then I discovered that I could not run an X application as the normal user without first running "xhost +" as root. At this point, it dawned on me that I am not supposed to run startx as root, but as the normal user. Duh!
    So, I thought I set up everything the same way for the normal user. When I startx as the normal user, OpenBox runs, nm-applet runs, and pypanel runs, but pypanel does not display the nm-applet icon. I can now run my X application as the normal user, so that is good.
    My .config/openbox/autostart file is exactly the same for root and my normal user:
    (sleep 3 && pypanel) &
    (sleep 3 && /usr/bin/nm-applet --sm-disable) &
    nm-applet was started by this code, because ps -ef shows it running and owned by the normal user:
    [tim@(none) ~]$ ps -ef|grep nm-applet
    tim 2311 2306 0 15:27 tty1 00:00:00 /usr/bin/nm-applet --sm-disable
    tim 2332 2327 0 15:27 pts/0 00:00:00 grep nm-applet
    [tim@(none) ~]$ ps -ef|grep networkmanager
    root 497 476 0 14:14 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/dhcpcd -B -K -L -G -c /usr/lib/networkmanager/nm-dhcp-client.action eth0
    root 869 476 0 14:30 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/dhcpcd -B -K -L -G -c /usr/lib/networkmanager/nm-dhcp-client.action ra0
    tim 2345 2327 0 15:27 pts/0 00:00:00 grep networkmanager
    Why does pypanel display the nm-applet icon for root but not for the normal user?

    I have now switched to tint2 from pypanel, anyway. It is much cleaner and easier to use. At least in my opinion.

  • An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057)) After DPM 2012 SP1 to R2 Upgrade

    Hi,
    We have upgraded DPM 2012 SP1 to DPM 2012 R2 and OS is Windows 2012 standard.
    Now in File Protection Group, we receive error
    "An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057))".
    This happens to only one Drive(X: Drive) of the PG server, other drive(Z: Drive) backup is working fine.
    We tried,
    Deleted entire protection group and recreated ,
    Ran consistency job 2 to 3 times.
    Ran Synchronize with consistency check.
    But every time It failed. Before upgrade it was working fine.
    Thanks

    Hi
    I would suggest opening a new case with MS to allow the DPM team to further look into the issue. Also the DPM 2012 R2 RollUp which addresses the (0x80070057)
    issue is Rollup 1 and the private will not be needed after applying Rollup 1. The Roll up is found here

  • MMC crashes when attempting modification of a protection group in DPM 2012 SP1 RU3

    Hi All,
    I've got a problem with my DPM 2012 SP1 server for a few weeks now. It's backing up and restoring fine, but when I attempt to modify any protection group, the MMC crashes. This happens even before the modify protection group dialog is displayed, just a few
    seconds after clicking 'modify' with the protection group selected.
    it was running DPM 2012 SP1 RU1, is now running RU3, this update did not make the difference I was hoping for. Also installation of the DPM console on a remote management server results in the exact same problem.
    Below is the error message. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem and solved it?

  • DPM 2012 SP1 - Single Data Source Written to Multiple Tape Drives

    Just a question, really...
    I know that DPM can write to multiple drives for a single protection group with more than one data source.
    However, is it possible for DPM 2012 SP1 (or R2) to write to multiple drives from a single data source from a single protection group?
    So if I have "DataSource A" in "MyProtectionGroup" and I allocate 2 tape drives to the PG, could DPM use both drives to backup the PG?
    I assume the answer is "no," but I just wanted to double check.  Thanks.

    What you are wanting is a feature called striping and DPM does not have that advanced feature.

  • DPM 2012 SP1 long term backup fails when protected server reboots

    Hi,
    we're using DPM 2012 SP1 with Short-term and long-term protection.
    We use a daily short-term backup to disk and a weekly long-term to tape.
    We are noticing that when a long-term tape backup is running, it fails when we reboot one of the protected servers.
    Is anyone else having this issue ? I assumed the long-term tape backup will be created from a disk-recovery point.

  • Photoshop window does not display unless connected to external monitor

    I use a MBP connected it to an Apple Cinema Display used as an external monitor (not a dual display) when in my studio.
    When I use Adobe Photoshop CS 5 without the monitor the image window does not display on the MBP. If I plug the external monitor in, the window is displayed correctly on the MBP. Photoshop is opening and "displaying" the image window offscreen. Nothing gets it back onscreen, except plugging in the external monitor.
    I often use Photoshop away from my studio so this is a big problem. PShop is essentially unusable unless connected to an external monitor.
    Is this a known issue?
    Any workarounds?
    Any ideas?
    There is a previous discussion on this topic from January 2012, but it remains open and unanswered. Hoping there are some new ideas. Thanks for the help.

    The MacOS still thinks the second display is available and valid -- so Photoshop puts the documents on the last used display and the OS doesn't give any errors.
    Once the OS notices the change in display configuration, Photoshop should go back to the main display and force images and dialogs back to the main display.
    Applications rely on the OS for the display configuration, and sometimes the OS gets confused or holds onto outdated configurations a bit too long...

  • FF loads but does not display

    Since the upgrade to FF3.6, I've had several annoying glitches.
    1 Dclick desktop icon, FF loads into memory, but does not display. End task. Then Dclick the icon again. This time FF loads and displays normally.
    2. After closing FF with Save & Quit, next time I open FF, error message : "Well this is embarrassing, can't recover tabs". Start new session. FF opens with last tab instead of default site.
    3. On some sites I click icons and nothing happens. Sometimes other icons on same page will open, but most won't. Internet Explorer will open the same icons, so the Problem seems to be in FF.
    Am I the only one with these nuisances? Any help will be appreciated.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after upgrade to FF 3.6

    Hello John.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Screen briefly flashes white but does not display the page when the Safari icon or other icons are tapped.

    A problem has just started with my IPAD Air after 3 months of use.
    If I try to open Safari by tapping on the icon the screen  briefly flashes white but does not display the page.
    Similarly if I try to open Settings page, Mail page, Calendar or Clock the screen just briefly flashes but the Apps do not run.
    Some of the Apps do work on tapping the icon e.g. Maps, iBooks, Appstore, iTunes, Newstand etc.
    I do have some website links which display when the icon is tapped e.g. John Lewis but some links do not work.
    I have ensured that the ipad is fully charged,  powered it off an on again, and cleaned the screen with a lint free cloth  but the
    same problem keeps occurring.

    I saume you used a second display at one time, otherwise the Display settings wouldn't be treating your primary display as a secondary.
    IF you open your System Preferences>Displays (-System Preferences) and click "Gather Windows" it should pull everything to the display on which you clicked it.
