Error 3263

Severity Level 10
Message Text

Cannot use the volume on device '%ls' as a continuation volume. It is sequence number %d of family %d for the current media set. Insert a new volume, or sequence number %d of family %d for the current set.

Explanation

The RAID media set spans multiple volumes. Initializing the volume currently in the named device would destroy the integrity of the RAID media set because the volume has already been used as a member of the media set.

Action

Remove the volume and insert a fresh tape that can be overwritten.
