I am a bit of a newby when it comes to LTO2 tape technology, so please excuse the possible "dumb" question. I received the following error about my LTO2 tape: 11/17/2004 4:38:01 PM ANR8950W Device /d

I ran into this back in September with a lot of tapes. Turned out to be a faulty drive that was corrupting the chips. Once you either move all the data off and TSM starts writing at the beginning, th

Thanks for the suggestions. Another responder pointed to your earlier message in the ADSM-L archives. I think it might be a tape-drive issue versus firmware since I am at the latest firmware I can fi

For us it turned out to be a drive problem, not firmware. Once I got all the tapes cleaned off that were flagging the corrupted index, I then monitored each time I got another corruption and it was a

Thanks for the help. I started the AUDIT and it has already flagged 2-tapes within the first 5-minutes. I seem to have a bad drive, again. This LTO2 library has been a royal pain since we got it. Alr

Hi Zoltan, Just for info (and to avoid buying possibly weak hardware), what type of library are you speaking about ? Is it your IBM 3583-L72 ? Cheers. Arnaud ** ** Panalpina Management Ltd., Basle, S

If this is IBM, then look at the boxes that the replacement parts come in...usually says refurbished. I think if you don't specify you don't get "new". I'm not even sure if you can ask for new parts.

Yes, this is the IBM 3873-L72. This is the only LTO2 we have. Everything else is 3590B/E ! PAC Brion Arnaud <Arnaud.Brion AT PANALPINA DOT COM> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L AT VM.MARIST

This is supposed to be *NEW*. Nothing labeled "refurbished". The support on this hasn't been the greatest. Mostly self-service (i.e. they sent me the drive and I installed it myself - not that I am c
My understanding is that 4770 fixes the problem to prevent future index corruption. However, if you have a tape that already had it's index corrupted *prior* to upgrading the firmware to 4770 (or lat
