Re: ANR8944E Hardware or media error on drive

You say same tape, same drive,  Take drive1 offline to TSM and do
operation again which will force tape to another drive.

If I have a bad tape, I try a MOVE DATA, several times to make it 
use different drives and I can generally get all data off of it after a few 
tries.

Hi

I've got the following problem.
The following shows up in the activity log:

ANR8944E Hardware or media error on drive DRIVE1          
                       (mt2.0.0.2) (OP=LOCATE, Error Number=23, CC=0, KEY=03,

                       undetermined error has occurred).  Refer to Appendix D in
                       the 'Messages' manual for recommended action.            
11-06-2003 07:59:14   ANR8359E Media fault detected on LTO volume 000765L1 in   
                       drive DRIVE1 (mt2.0.0.2) of library 3583LIB.             
11-06-2003 08:01:14   ANR8944E Hardware or media error on drive DRIVE1          
                       (mt2.0.0.2) (OP=LOCATE, Error Number=23, CC=0, KEY=03,   
                       ASC=14, ASCQ=00, 

And repeats itself, same drive same volume.
If this was a scratch volume then i think there is a solution for it because 
i've read something about TSM still trying to use a scratch tape with media 
faults because it cannot mark scratch tapes damaged.
Problem here is that is is a tape with data (q libv status) and i'm not sure 
how to fix this problem.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance,

Klaas Talsma
