Re: Event log error on the tape.
Hope the following information helps:
Summary:
Disk at hardware path 8/16/5.2.0 : Software configuration error
As you know, the IPR 0109 version of Diagnostics will not report
failures for devices for which the firmware does NOT start with "hp".
This behavior unfortunately does NOT apply to a device when it''s Test
Unit Ready SCSI commands fail however. As a result, the TUR''s continue
to be sent to the device once per hour and continue to generate
events. This is NOT the result we were hoping to see with the
enhancements made to IPR0109 regarding the disk_em monitor.
From my research, the communication error seems could be resolved by new FW version. Have you checked if it's having the latest firmware version already?

Re: Event log error on the tape.
If it's only 1 occurance, then please check what the user is doing at this time:
Wed Oct 19 22:22:12 2005
If the user was doing backup, or was manipulating the media. Then yes it could be a media issue. However you mentioned that the backup was successful?
Mind to check what was happening at that time Wed Oct 19 22:22:12 2005? And if it's running a DP backup, please send me the session report for me to have a look?

SolutionSince you see the time the event was logged is when doing loading medium from slot 5 to device /dev/rmt/3m, I could only think of that it may be due to the loading medium activity.
Besides you mentioned that it only occured once? So what do you think yourself? Have you made sure that the drive /dev/rmt/3m is working fine? And the medium labelled 'Wk1-Wed-1' is in good condition?
Plus, the media has 0 free block? Keep me wondering...

Re: Event log error on the tape.
What version of the OnlineDiags do you have installed? My guess is that this message is caused by an old version of dm_stape, which polls the hardware and happened to do so at the moment the media was being changed.
If everything else is working, there really isn't anything to worry about. In fact, the tape monitor is no longer supplied or supported in the latest version of the OnlineDiags, so when you've moved to that you won't see any more such events being logged.
The Library and Tape Tools from HP are the recommended tools to use now.
