Hi!

Some days ago our NT attached 3570 started to have errors indicating

 ANR8302E I/O error on drive TAPE1 (MT0.0.0.1) (OP=WRITE,
                          CC=305, KEY=04, ASC=44, ASCQ=00,


SENSE=F0.00.04.00.1E.80.F0.48.00.00.00.00.44.00.FE.0B.35-

.30.10.00.00.01.01.31.08.28.C5.4F.E4.80.0A.E0.01.35.30.E-

0.01.33.12.07.80.33.54.FF.07.00.00.03.47.90.00.EC.3B.3F.-
                          00.00.00.FF.00.03.47.5D.05.00., Description=Drive

                          failure).  Refer to Appendix B in the 'Messages'
manual
                          for recommended action.

ADSM then  marks the Tape R/O and later on tries to repair a defective VCR

ANR8820W Repairing VCR data for Volume RNC03 in drive
                          TAPE1 (MT0.0.0.1); mount may be delayed

I remember that some days ago there was a discussion thread going on
mentioning microcode levels etc.
Can sombeody enlighten me or send me the postings again? TIA

Mit freundlichem Gruss/Best Regards
