Can't read DDS3 tape - tar: tape read error
Hello,
I'm having trouble reading a DDS3 tape (DAT24) on systems other than its own. This tape comes from a HP 9000 server and it does read well locally but on other HP 9000 or Sun servers I get a tar: tape read error and the cleaning led on the tape drive starts to blink. The tape drives on the other systems are brand new and I already cleaned them so it's not a cleaning problem. I also tried tar with different block sizes but it didn't change anything. What could this be?
All your comments and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for help.

Re: Can't read DDS3 tape - tar: tape read error
The tape drives on the other systems are of the same brand and type - HP dat 24. The only difference is that they are new and they are called SureStore hp 24.
Thanks.
