I am assuming you are not able to see the tape in the BE console.
Have you performed an inventory?

I have made an inventory (no tape inside) and still not show anything.
Is there a difference between perform an inventory with or without tape into the device?
Inventory is performed after inserting tape in the library/ drive. During inventory BE reads header of
the tape and makes an entry of the tape in the BE database.

Ok, i understan.. i think that`s my problem.. i perform an inventroy but without the tape inside.
I will do it now with the tape inside, so BE can make the entry, and after that it will appear i guess.
Excelente!! It work !! :)
Now... I wonder if have to inventory every time to see the backup tape is in the slot (to see the label on the tape) ?
Because the tape doesnt show in the dispositive/slots at least i do an inventory.
Whenever you insert a tape in the slot you need to perform an inventory.
