Just a thought, take TSM server down.
Did so yesterday...
Use an OS native program (Microsoft Backup) using a hand fed scratch tape or two to backup the local system and restore a few files until you believe the drive will hold its own.
...and failed to get it to work with ntbackup - several problems from "too many tapes in library" to refusal to write to the tape in the drive. grrr.
I see your point (and thanks for the input), but does anyone have another approach?
It would be very much appreciated...
TIA, greets, tobi...
Then start with TSM. If the same tapes are read and written OK in other drives, then you still have a drive problem, IMHO. (Or cable, or SCSI controller). If all the errors are on the same drive, you may still have a problem.

Ladies, gentlemen,
a new, replaced LTO drive gives me headaches - in the following situation:
OS: MS Win2k Advanced Server, 5.00.2195, SP2 TSM: Storage Management Server for Windows - Version 5, Release 1, Level 0.0
After having worked with no probs afaik, last week one of my two HP ultrium LTO drives died and was replaced by dell (guarantee/bronce contract). Following this, i wittnessed for two days the cumbersome process of firmware-updating the library (PV136T, equals a ADIC Scalar 100, or so I am told), after which the system seemed ok. I deleted drive and path definitions and hoped for the best. This is what I have seen two days later:

This is taking up my already few scratch tapes too fast...
(By the way: What is the correct way to turn these tapes into scratch tapes again? move data into the storagepool, and then manually turn them to scratch-status again? or do i miss something there?)
Tests done with the Dell-provided software tools have not given any hint on problems occuring in the library. I have now been advised to swap the two drives (one becomes two and vice versa) and see if the problem persists - but my problem now is that I would not know how to do reasonable testing.
I don,t know how to trigger migration process manually (searched the admin ref pdf to no avail), but even if I did, there is only so many migrations I can do, and then I am stumped.
I don,t know how to advise TSM to move data using a defined drive - say, from 1 to 2, and not from 2 to one - how can this be done?
I am quite limited in space and don,t have copy pools, so I am a bit hesitant to move data with a possibly faulty drive and breaking something - is there a clever approach doing a copy onto a single tape volume? Again, I checked the guide but did not see anything wrt this...
Any input would be very much appreciated,
greets, tobi
