Try get a brand new Sony tape, Label the tape first using TSM Web admin or dsmlabel then check it into the library. Use that brand new Tape to do TSM operation.
Is your SpectraLogic HVD 64000 drive has latest firmware please check http://www.spectralogic.com/support/firmware_12k_64k.cfm How about latest TSM fix pack?? at http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/serverpatches.html Tivoli Storage Management Function Verification Test , FVT Automation Project Lead Office:408-256-3312 Home:650-757-1661 Cell:415-218-7880 AIM:smartbluewong Dept Y0LA /Bldg 050-3 / Office 3A64 IBM SSG Division 46 "Johnn D. Tan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@VM.MARIST.EDU> on 04/18/2002 01:31:27 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: sense errors Does anyone have any ideas on the following errors that showed up in our TSM activity log? We have TSM 4.1.3 server running on AIX 4.3.3ML9, connected to a SpectraLogic HVD 64000/Gator (with Sony SDX-500C drives). We've sent the sense code info to Tivoli as well as SpectraLogic, but they point at each other or general "SCSI" problems. We've already swapped out the cables, the terminators, even one of the SCSI cards. We've cleaned the drives, changed the filters, re-connected the cables, etc. Even though all of the below are on DRIVE1, it actually happens to all six of our drives eventually. I checked the TSM Messages manual, and it's not that helpful. ***** I'm writing not so much to get a definitive answer (as that's obviously something specific to our site & setup), but more for other clues or leads that I could investigate. Maybe Tivoli, SpectraLogic, and our own group have all been looking in the wrong direction. ***** By the way, we get these on a more-or-less regular basis, like one set of three (such as below) per week or every other week. Thanks for any leads. johnn 04/18/02 07:43:55 ANR8302E I/O error on drive DRIVE1 (/dev/mt0) (OP=READ, CC=306, KEY=03, ASC=31, ASCQ=00, SENSE=F0.00.03.00.00.80.00.14.00.00.00.00.31.00.00.00.CE- .00.00.00.00.B8.01.4D.20.50., Description=Drive or media failure).
