  Subject: [Veritas-bu] LTO2 stuck tape


  Anyone had any issues?

  back when I was using DLT7000 drives, we had the Dude from Quantum in =
every couple of weeks to extract a stuck tape, or reset a "swallowed =
leader".

  I've been using these LTO2 drives since July for testing, and since =
November in production, and for the first time, a drive went down and =
when I "upped" the drive in the GUI, it went back down.....there's a =
tape in the drive....can't reset the drive, powercycling the drive does =
nothing...the drive is not responding.....(SAN attached to two different =
servers....same message on both)


  bash-2.03# mt -f /dev/rmt/0cbn status
  /dev/rmt/0cbn: no tape loaded or drive offline
  bash-2.03# mt -f /dev/rmt/1cbn status

  bash-2.03# mt -f /dev/rmt/6cbn status

  bash-2.03# ls /dev/rmt/*cbn

  /dev/rmt/1cbn  /dev/rmt/3cbn  /dev/rmt/5cbn
  bash-2.03#

  Any trick for freeing the tape other than calling STK?

  Paul
