I am having a hard time getting a catalog of some old tapes to complete. I have three DLT IV tapes in total containing old exchange data. I load the full tape and can perform the inventory without issue. I then perform a catalog with the following settings: Unchecked both "Request all media in the sequence for catalog operations" and uchecked (Use storage-based catalogs). I have actually tried all variations of these.
The catalog runs and I can see it reading the tape as it is displaying the mailboxes in the status area. After two hours and 38.2GB later it throws an error:
Job ended: Saturday, September 22, 2012 at 3:58:50 PM Completed status: Failed Final error: 0xe0000900 - The requested media is not listed in the media index and could not be mounted. To add the media's catalog information to the disk-based catalogs, run an inventory operation on the media and resubmit the Catalog operation. Final error category: Backup Media Errors For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-57344-2304

Click an error below to locate it in the job log
Catalog- \\CORREO\Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes The media operation was terminated. Catalog V-79-57344-33861 - The media operation was terminated by the user.
I have tried recreating the catalogs folder, ran the BEUtility to set the media operations to prompt (I actually never get prompted to change tapes). Getting a little frustrated as it cannot be this difficult to read an old tape. I see the data I want when it is cataloging it, I just can't get it off the tape!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Grant
P.S.: I opened a case as well but I am running out of time.
