Hi Phillip,

I'm also having problems with the LTO-2 drives in my i2000. We keep getting
and error 6 on the drive, which is supposed to be a media problem.
Unfortunately, when that happens, the library takes that drive offline and
NetWorker just sits for hours trying to access it and doesn't do anything
with the other drives that still work.

BTW, the drives are IBM, not HP...

Is it me or are there quite a few people who keep having LTO-2 drive
failures???  I have an ADIC Scalar i2000 with 6 LTO-2 drives and had 1 DOA,
another failure about a week later.  Last night (almost 2 months later), I
have 2 more dead drives.

Do you think it's the ADIC library or the HP drives that are the problem (or
both)?  I'd like to know who I should be venting to before I go off on both
of them ;-)

Phil.

We had similar situation due to the tape drives malfunction.
It started slowly but in a couple weeks we had hundred tapes marked full
prematurely.
Check the event log for the drive related errors and contact the vendor to
fix or replace drives.

What brand of drives and what brand of tapes?

If they are Seagate drives, they will only work well with certain tape
brands. Maxell/Fuji/Seagate are the only ones certain to work, although
some others are Maxell or Fuji rebadged.
