Hi,

Have you tried the obvious things ?

Clean the drive.
Try different media.

Cheers,
Rob

Re: SDLT 320 Q-vet failure

Yes

I did all that and tried new media. The strange thind is that three SDLT drives have the same error failing at the same time.

I then tested the SDLT 320 drives on SUN Solaris VTS .. passed ok.

yes I have tried all that and used new media. The strange thing is that the same failure happens on three SDLT Drives on Q-VET.

I then tested the sdlt Drives on Sun Solaris VTS .. OK.

I feel, maybe there may be a setting on Q-vet.

Thanks

Re: SDLT 320 Q-vet failure

We have the same problem again (Q-VET on Openvms)... anybody any ideas. The dlt320 tape drive will pass vts on Sun Solaris.
