ADSM support please read this:
We have just purchased an EXB210 tape library with two Eliant 820
drives. Before installing it the server software was upgraded to V2 R1
level 0.14. Afterwards it seems as a number of things have happened.
A. Using a Exabyte 8085XL for labelling tapes, the labbeled tapes
doesn't stay in the eliant drives unless they are write protected.
Exabyte tech supports says that this behaviour indicates that the
tape has been formatted with the old 8200 format which the eliant
drive cannot write to (why writable tapes of this format are ejected).
Thge eliant can read this format, therefore writeprotected tapes stays
in the drive.
B. Trying to label types using the eliant drives an I/O error occurs.
Using the trace facility the sense data (according to Exabyte tech
support) indicates that an illegal operation has been tried. Maybe
trying to label the tape using the - for eliant drives - illegal
format 8200.
Our old tapes, labelled before level 0.14 works fine with the eliant
drives. The labels are recognized with no problems at all.
Does anybody know how to get around this problem? Tomorrow I will
reinstall level 0.12 on the server to see if the 8505XL can label
tapes so they can be read/written by the eliant drives. But reading
the device support pdf-file, it is stated that to get support for the
eliant drives one needs the level 0.14 software. I am seriously
confused and a little irritated. If somebody know how to make the
eliant drives play, please help.
Thanks in advance,
kind regards
