Re: Loosing drive in IBM3583

Hi

Which version of Atape are you using?

Have you any write/read errors on your tapes, and if so, is it the same 
tapes that has these errors?

Also, a good idea would to look at the activity log to see what happens 
before the errors begin. If the same thing happens every wednesday at 12, 
it's easier to solve your problem.

Best Regards

Environment: Server W2K SP2, TSM version 4.2.1.7.

This is what I get in the activitylog:

                                        detected.

This is what I get when I query the drives:

Since  2002.04.17 12:00:24

This is what I get in the eventlogg on the server:

The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Tape1. 


After I have restarted the server everything works alright for one week
until the next wednesday at 12:00. I don´t have any schedules starting at
this time in TSM or on the server. It´s not the same drive that gets
unavailable every time. Any one who has a clue whats wrong?

Thanks in advance.
