Hello,

My server generates the following error in syslog.log:

Sep 27 22:15:30 sapprd EMS [2843]: ------ EMS Event Notification ------ Value:
"CRITICAL (5)" for Resource: "/storage/events/tapes/SCSI_tape/0_3_0_0.6.0"

Miguel,

Have you executed the suggested commmand? That will tell you exactly what the problem was.

Its an error with the tape drive.

Have you run the command that it tells you to run?

# /opt/resmon/bin/resdata -R 186318882 -r /storage/events/tapes/SCSI_tape/0_3_0_ 0.6.0 -n 186318849 -a

Value is CRITICAL. So most probably your tape drive is dead or something

Execute ioscan and find out the status

# ioscan -fnC tape

Look at the HW_STATUS.

cstm << EOF > /tmp/tape$$
slclass tape

echo "selclass type tape; info ;wait ; infolog" | cstm >> /tmp/tap

grep -i Uncorrectable Errors /tmp/tape

this shall tell you about errors.

If are there, you have to replace tape.

Thanks

If you did run those command and find nothing, do also ioscan -fnC tape if still not able to find problem, better check physically the tape drive, it might tell you whats the problem.

Look in the file /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log, where you should find the full text of the event, and of any other events of lower severity regarding the tape device (only CRITICAL level events are logged to syslog).

The text of the message should give you details about the problem. Messages regarding the tape device will be logged by the 'dm_stape' monitor.
