I get these a lot. One thing I found that caused it was, our Linux
media server was set to only use 4 drives concurrently and all other
media servers were set to 8 (total # of drives). One day something
happened in the fiber network (I think) and the Linux Media server
became the SCAN_HOST on all the drives (vmdareq -display). Four of the
drives got the Unable to SCSI unload drive and went down. =20
=20
Sometimes it's caused by a popped leader (SDLT tapes). If the tapes
show they are loading and not loaded it might be a bad tape. If the
tapes are loaded usually resetting the drive from the Windows admin
console will unload the tape. It could also be a problem on the drive
if it happens on the same drive a lot.

Folks,
=20
Has anyone seen this message before? This is from a Red Hat 7.x Media
Server with FC LTO-2 drives attached via Brocade 3800 switches and
QLA2340 HBAs.

Feb 23 00:26:04 abzlxre1 tldd[1282]: TLD(0) drive 15 (device 0) is being
DOWNED, status: Unable to SCSI unload drive
Feb 23 00:26:04 abzlxre1 tldd[1282]: Check integrity of the drive, drive
path, and media
=20
The installation is a v5.1 MP3 set-up with a W2K3 Master Server and a
number of W2K and W2K3 Media Servers. The Linux Media Server has
exclusive use of two LTO drives but is running NBU v4.5. I can't find a
decent hit on the Veritas site or generally and wondered if anyone on
the list had been here before?
