Hi everybody,
We have some problems with a new internal
HP Surestore DAT 40 SCSI drive, installed onto a new HP Netserver tc4000
(they've come together, a couple of months ago).
We want to make some One-Button Disaster Recovery
Tapes - or, at least some reliable backup tapes (i.e. we want to write something
to the tapes and be able to safely read that data back).
The DDS4 (40 Gb) tape reaches too quick the
end of tape (or, at least so it says). We have tried also with a DDS 3 tape,
with same results.
We have tried cpio, tar,dump, TapeWare 6.3 with
SP3A, taper, hostdump.sh, etc., with 0, 512, 2048, 5120 bytes/ 28kb block
sizes.; all we get is either a premature: "end of tape reached. Insert new tape
to continue ..." or "error. aborting, exiting, etc." Tapeware says "Error xxx.
Illegal request." when trying to make a Backup Tape.
It seems we are unable to set the correct density
and length of the tape (?!!)
Inserting the 40Gb tape, the "mt [-f /dev/st0]
status" command gives:
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=0, block number=0, partition=0. Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x26 (DDS-4 or QIC-4GB). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (41010000): BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN Following, the output of four
commands:
dmesg | grep st0
cat /etc/modules.conf
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
lsmod
