(My network connection dropped so if this appears twice feel free to
delete one - they're nearly the same)
I'm trying to do some testing with an older AIT-1 (SDX-300) drive and my
NBU 4.5 server (Ultra 2 running Solaris 9) and while it worked a few
months ago when I was running Solaris 7 I'm running into a strange error
now. It looks like it writes all of the data to the tape then fails with
an error 84 at the end. I've tried tape buffer sizes from 32k to 256k but
nothing makes any difference. Here's what shows up in the bptm log:
======================================

======================================
My st.conf entries came straight from the Veritas documentation:
tape-config-list=
"SONY SDX-300C", "SONY 8mm AIT", "SONY_AIT";
SONY_AIT = 1, 036, 0, 0x9639, 4, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0;
My 8mm drive is doing the same thing as the AIT-1 but the DDS03 is working
fine so NetBackup is probably ok. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.
