adpu160m1 Error

[William Archer]

I am receiving the following error:

The driver detected a controller error on \Device\SCSI\adpu160m1

This error also causes my DAT24 tape drive to think its busy and not perform a scheduled backup.

Thoughts?

Please make sure you have Latest firmware for the Tape drive.

Disable Removable storage service. It conflicts with your backup program sometimes and causes timeout issues.

Obtain latest Support pack for the server.

Don't forget to check SCSI cables/connections/termination;

And also check new SCSI adapter driver (I sugest to download from manuf.)

regards.

I've had this problem twice.

First time the controller was at fault and required the motherboard to be replaced.

Second time, I had to add a fan kit to my internal SDLT drive as it was getting too hot and would shut down during a backup and cause this error message.
