MSL 4048 and LTO7 issues

Hi Everyone,

We have an MSL 4048 with 4 LTO7 Ultrium drives. The library has 4 partitions, one for each drive. SAS card is a HP P841 with four female cable inputs.

We are using ARCSERVE r17 with patch P00000379 to supports libraries with LTO-7 drives (HP Ultrium 7-SCSI)

Firmware MSL 4048 8.9, LTO7 firmware 342

ARCSERVE reports 4 HP MSL G3 Series:

Ultrium 7-SCSI drive 1 says <updating...> for each slot 

Ultrium 7-SCSI drive 2 slots inventoried but Slot 11 says <updating...>

Ultrium 7-SCSI drive 3 says unreadable media

Ultrium 7-SCSI drive 4 slots inventoried

ARCSERVE Reports:

Re: MSL 4048 and LTO7 issues

It would be really helpful if you could use the library web management interface and under the "maintenance" section use the "Download Support Ticket" feature in the right hand menu to grab a set of library logs then post those here.

Hi,

 

Try rebooting the library and check if inventory is completing to 100%

Once this is done, try getting the L&TT logs.
