Hi,
We are running OpenVMS 7.3-2 on 3x DS25s and 1 Xp 1000 on a single system disk in the main server.
We have an external tape drive SDLT 320/160 attached to the main server and we often run tape backups.
We started a backup operation yesterday using tape_1 and
got the following error during the operation..
%BACKUP-F-POSITERR, error positioning TP0:[000000]00004643_IMA.SAV;
-SYSTEM-F-OPINCOMPL, operation is incomplete
starting... done
FATAL-ERROR: copying files
MESSAGE: %BACKUP-F-POSITERR, error positioning !AS
CODE: 279150868
FACILITY: RTL
Program stopped
%DCL-W-SKPDAT, image data (records not beginning with "$") ignored
XXXXXX job terminated at 3-MAY-2007 17:06:46.38
Accounting information:
Buffered I/O count: 758 Peak working set size: 6352
Direct I/O count: 125 Peak virtual size: 172080
Page faults: 628 Mounted volumes: 1
Charged CPU time: 0 00:00:00.10 Elapsed time: 0 00:03:44.11
In the past it was explained to me that this is a problem with the tape catridge.
So I used a different tape_2 (same model of course SDLT 160/320) and it gave same error message.
One additional observation was that
When tape_1 was inserted the tape drive indicated an 'error' light. When the tape_1 was removed and tape_2 was inserted this 'error' light got turned off.
I suspect the tape drive is causing problems
Any thoughts comments ?

Re: Error during backup
Re: Error during backup
My apologies.
I was misinformed. We only had problem with one tape. I used a new tape and it is working fine.
Thank you for your time.

Re: Error during backup
nipun,
I'm no expert on tapes, but we've had
some problems in the field. I told the
remote person to clean the drive well, and
try new tapes. So far so good for us. dean
