You might also want to try an audit vol with one drive off line.

If you lack the diskspace you can define an extra device-class and library for the same physical library. Add the problematic drive to the new library, define a primary tape-storagepool on the new device-class and then issue the "move data ITG017L2 stg=NEW_STG".

Alexander only has two drives. He can't take one of them offline and do a move data. Try a restore volume, Alexander. I assume you have a copy tape pool for such use. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----Original Message----- From: David E Ehresman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 2/13/2004 13:58 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: Re: data move question Leave MT1.0.0.3 offline and reissued the move data.

Overland Neo 4100 with 2 X LTO-2 SCSI drives. 31 LTO2 tapes. One of our drives, MT1.0.0.3, keeps going offline with the following error: 02/13/2004 12:00:39 ANR8944E Hardware or media error on drive MT1.0.0.3 (mt1.0.0.3) (OP=READ, Error Number=1117, CC=305, KEY=04, ASC=44, ASCQ=00, SENSE=F0.00.04.00.00.24.47.0E.00.00.00.- 00.44.00.00.00.30.20.00.00.00.00., Description=Drive failure). Refer to Appendix D in the 'Messages' manual for recommended action. One particular tape keeps making the drive fail - ITG017L2. When I move data off that tape, the server ALWAYS mounts that tape into MT1.0.0.3. The drive then fails with the error above and the drive is marked as offline. Yet the tape reports no read or write errors. So I'm not sure where the problem lies: tape or drive. I have a suspicion it is the tape, what I need to do is force tape ITG017L2 into the other drive, MT2.0.0.3, and try moving the data from that other drive. If MT2.0.0.3 fails the same way, then I'm almost certain it's a bad tape. Is there a way to force the server to put tape ITG017L2 into drive MT2.0.0.3 for a move data?
