HP Storageworks 1/8 G2 autoloader with Symantec Backup Exec 2010
I'm having problems getting this working properly. We currently have the autoloader which was originally setup to use data protector express. The original IT guy who worked here only put a trial version on the system. I have since installed Symantec Backup Exec 2010 but keep getting errors no matter what I do. I already have a full backup of the data on another server so deleting the existing tapes and starting from scratch is not a problem. Besides I'm using a different backup program anyways. I inventoried all the tapes, but if I attempt to start a backup, I just get errors.
Error : e0000f16 - The operation failed to acquire the minimum number of drives and media needed.
That's when I try to run a backup.
This is if I try to catalog
Error : 800706be - 0x800706be (2147944126)
For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-32775-1726
In which the link takes me to page not found/available on symantecs website.
This is if I try to erase a library:
Error category : Other ErrorsError : 80070057 - One or more arguments are invalid
It's been years since I run a backup system like this. I was back on veritas backup with a standard single tape drive which had to be swapped out daily. Is there a really well written tutorial on getting this configured from scratch that I could try?
Thanks in advance!

You need to install UPDATES to support anything better than LTO1
Chnagers on the other hand are pretty generic.
While you are still there you can set up automatic cleaning inside autochanger (to keep hassle away from backup system)

Yes - it has quite strange approach - you need to stop RSM to release changer device (with driver)
Then you need to update it's internal SCSI drivers to directly access tape drives via SCSI bus.

Looks like I spoke too soon. After the inventory was successful last night, it's not seeing all the tapes and allowing me to erase them and recreate sets to backup again.

It's not= It's now.

Thanks for getting me on the right track.
Enjoy the ride.
Storage
Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
