ANY HSG80s?  MAke sure they are upgraded to 8.7.  We had all kinds of
problems until we upgraded the DIsk controllers to the latest realease.

Hi all
 
I am having a lot of troubles with SCSI resets on my backup, which causes
Legato to produce backups with "holes" in.
 
I have a HP 5000 SAN and 2 MSL 6030 libaries, and 7 storage nodes.
All is running Windows 2000/2003
The Legato version is 7.1.2
My HBA's are Emulex and Qlogic.
-The Qlogic HBA's are setup to persisten binding with Qlogic's SANSURFER
software. 
Zones created on the SAN switch, which only holds the backupserver, the
libarys and the storagenodes.
 
What I can see happening is that through the night when the backup is
running, I sometimes gets a "SCSI reset" command send to the tapedrives, this
causes them to rewind the tape, this is unvisible to Legato, so when the
tapedrives are rewinding the tapes, Legato still thinks all is fine and
continues to write to the tape, allthough it now is positioned to the start.
So when I later try to check the tape with "scanner -nv", it gives:
scanner: Reading the label done
scanner: SYSTEM error: Tape label read for volume ? in pool ?, is not
recognised by Networker: unknown error 234 (0xea)
 
Is there anyone on the list that has had this problem and solved it?
