We had our DLT drives swapped out for LTO1 drives last November and set up the cleaning in the library (STKL180) as per usual, the drives would never ask for a clean. By January we where getting mass

Hi all, during last weeks I did interesting findings at one of production LTO 3583-L18 library. There are 2 drives and both was changed past series of media faults (one of them twice) past about 1 ye
Hi all, we are using 3583 LTO library with two LTO drives for 5 or 6 months. No error on tapes until now. Interesting findings. If some error occur with tapes I will check more detaily. Ing. Jozef Za
Very Interesting. I have a 10-drive 3584 library that came with 380 tapes about 22 months ago. So far, two tapes have locked in drives (which seems to have been a firmware issue corrected quite some

We have it on both IBM and Imation tapes (we had first 20 tapes in initial order with library from IBM and 20 Imation tapes bought 1/2 year later). Fault tapes are mixed. Tomas
Interesting. LTO divides its tracks into four bands, which it writes from inner to outer (analogous to optical media). See http://www.ultrium.com/newsite/html/about_tech.html for pictorials. Inner b

So, we use drive code 28V0, library code 3060, sorry, for the percentage we do not have 70 but between 20 and 40% as percentage utilized at time of the write error, René LAMBELET NESTEC SA GLOBE - Gl

OK, with percentages, I think it depends on setting of estimate capacity in deviceclass. I tried to set it as near as possible to real utilization, when tape goes full, to better gues real tape utili

Hi, we have exactly the same problem, about 2 -3 tapes / day with write error, 2/3 of capacity. Only on Imation tapes, not on IBM ones... We spend our time to do MOVE DATA ! René LAMBELET NESTEC SA G

Hi Similar problem here. Bought four Imation tapes into IBM 3584 with drive firmware 3481 and library firmware 3060, got write error on all four tapes at around 38% of 190734.0GB estimated cap. Kind

Hi, I had similar problem, but found the apar dealing with it. If you're also getting errors like ANR8302E I/O error on drive MT1.0.0.0 (MT1.0.0.0) (OP=WRITE, Error Number=1117, CC=400, KEY=4D, ASC=0
Hi, I have also been getting I/O errors on my LTO 3583 since I upgraded to V5.1.6.1 on Solaris. They generally seem to happen when the tape gets to about 95% capacity. They go to READONLY status but

Hi Wieslaw, I saw my type of errors but it is different. APAR IC35508 you mentioned relates to error "Physical end of media encountered" as wrote in APAR: ANR8302E I/O error on drive LIB (/dev/mt2) (

Same situation here. We have a 3584 with 12 drives that have been in use for about a year. We pump about a Terabyte of data through them everyday, and our cleaning tape has been used twice in the pas
Let's pursue some details to try to pin this down... - The cleaning tape is an LTO type, with a volser prefix of "CLNI" or "CLNU"? (Otherwise the library thinks of it as a data cartridge.) - It was
