I had the same problem with my DLT8000 drives. I had one at the end of the chain that had problems from the start. I checked the cables and all, but nothing. I then went into the TSM Admin config gui, (deleted all the drives first) and then readded them. Works fine now.. TSM server 4.2.1.6 on Windows2000

I have 4 Compaq DLT 7000 in TSM 4.2.1.9 in Windows NT. My server have only one SCSI adapter and only 3 of the 4 DLT work fine, but one doesn't work. This tape work fine in Windows NT (NT Backup). When I try to write I received this error messages: ANR8302E I/O error on drive MT2 <MT2.0.0.1> <OP=WRITE, Error Number=1117, CC=205, KEY=FF ASC,=FF ASCQ=FF, SENSE=**NONE** Description=SCSI adapter failure>. Refer to Appendix D in the 'Messages' manual for recommended action. ANR1411W Access mode for volume AD0002 now set to "read-only" due to write error. I found in the appendix D the messages and the only code that I found is CC=205 and the explanation was: "Check for loose cables, bent pins, bad cables, bad SCSI adapters, improper termination or bad termination" If one of this reasons are correctly, the tape doesn't work fine in NT either or I'm wrong. ? Thank you very much at all !! Christian Astuni IBM Global Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel. 4898-4621 Hipolito Yrigoyen 2149 - Martínez (1640) Bs. As. - Argentina
