Tape inventory fails with "Unknown MTF writer" error in case of standalone drives
Challenge
Cause
In case of tape library, the tape will be placed to “Unrecognized” media pool and it is not necessary to apply the fix.
In case of standalone devices, the tape becomes inaccessible.
Solution
Post Update 2b Behavior Note:
After applying the update, inventory of a tape with MTF header written by third-party application will still fail. This is implemented to ensure that possibly valuable data on that tape won’t be overwritten automatically. However, the tape will be accessible in “Unrecognized” media pool and it will be possible to erase it manually.
