    @Apidesh Dulma, 

    Let me rephrase what I think you said. There is an issue connecting TS4500 to a LINUX server. The device driver sees the TS4500 correctly and the tape drive correctly (i.e., there is a device special file (e.g., tape0; chngr0) for both the TS4500 and the tape drive). A backup using NetBackup 9.x is started but fails.

    Please provide:

    1) details about how it fails. What error does NBU present?

    2) what tape drive type is being used (e.g., LTO9, TS1160)?

    3) does a cartridge get mounted correctly?

    4) anything else that might be of value to those of us who try to provide useful troubleshooting.
