It would seem that we have bad media, but these errors are occuring
frequently on a large number and range of tapes. Initially, it was
happening on only one tape drive. That tape drive has been disabled. For
a few days, things were okay, but we've started getting the messages (and
save set failures) again.
Could this be related to the fact that we have tape drives daisy-chained?
6 of the tape drives are daisy chained into sets of 2 each. One of the
tape drives is on its own, and the other tape drive is sharing a scsi card
with the tape silo.
These errors began after we replaced our NetWorker server with the V880
and upgraded the OS to Solaris 8. This also involved a reconfiguration of
the jukebox.
The problems are occuring on random tapes. Some of the tapes are
relatively new, some we've been using for a few months (without problem),
and some have been around for several months.
Comments please?
