You are on a much later device driver so I would try disabling the failover functions first before you roll back.
Wehen we did this it resolved the problem straight away. We also had major server stability issues, where the server would blue screen and only be recovered by ASR. After a difficult period we pinned this down to the ultrium drivers. Are you using LTO3 tape drives? Are the AIX boxes library clients or just normal clients? _____________________________ Ian Smith SAN/TSM Specialist -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of zareyna Sent: 28 June 2006 11:16 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] ANR8779E: Unable to open drive mt6.0.0.1 error no=170 Hi Ian, I'm using 6.1.2.7.

We had this problem after upgrading the ultrium device drivers to 6.1.1.2. We had to roll back to 6.0.8.2. Ensure that the CPF and DPF functions are disabled in the registry by using the scripts if you are not using this function. ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/Windows/Win2003/Latest/IBMTap e.W200x.fixlist.txt _____________________________ Ian Smith SAN/TSM Specialist -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of zareyna Sent: 28 June 2006 10:42 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] ANR8779E: Unable to open drive mt6.0.0.1 error no=170 Hi all, I'm having this error "Unable to open drive mt6.0.0.1 error no=170" after I backup 3 clients.
