Description:
Steps to perform to successfully eject a tape after a backup on LTO standalone drives
Symptoms:
When using nvdeviceeject the tape does not get fully ejected and when the drive is polled the tape is reloaded.
If the tape is unloaded from the GUI it still does not fully eject the tape and it will be reloaded on the next poll of the tape drive.
If the tape is ejected after the drive has been polled and a new tape is loaded the tape label is not recognized as the database still thinks it has the original tape in the drive. This is because the the tape has been replaced without Netvault involvement.
