Resolution
This is generally caused by the fact that persistent bindings are not configured and a reboot occurred.(see Solution 79455 SAN Considerations)
https://support.quest.com/netvault-backup/kb/79455
Such errors would normally indicate that the drive ordering for the library in Netvault is incorrect.
This can be verified by checking the serial numbers against the drives in the Library’s own web interface with the serial numbers in Netvault Device Management.See Solution Solution 81852
https://support.quest.com/netvault-backup/kb/81852
If however as in the above case it can be verified that the Netvault drive order is the same as in the Library web interface then this is most likely a hardware issue with the Library changer.
