This server has one or more virtual tape libraries that are configured to use multiple drives that are not licensed for unlimited drive support. You must do one of the following:
- Purchase a Virtual Tape Library Unlimited Drive Option for each library that exceeds the one drive limit.
- Disable the drives on the virtual tape library that exceed the one drive limit that is included with Backup Exec.
Cause
A Virtual Tape Library Unlimited Drive Option is required per attached library
Solution
To avoid seeing this message again, you can purchase a Virtual Tape Library Unlimited Drive Option for unlimited drive support in a virtual tape library. Or, you can purchase additional single Library Expansion Option licenses for each additional drive in the virtual tape library.
Refer to the Backup Exec Administrator’s Guide for more information on these options.
