Re: Tar command issue with Ultrium LTO-4 1760 on SAS bus
##### The below command runs without issue:
tar -cvb 128 -f /dev/st0 ./someFile.log
./someFile.log (no issue)
##### The below command runs but has issues:
tar -cvb 256 -f /dev/st0 ./someFile.log
./someFile.log
tar: /dev/st0: Cannot write: Device or resource busy
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
##### The below command runs without issue:
tar -cvb 248 -f /dev/st0 ./someFile.log
./someFile.log
Any suggestion at this point would be greatly appreciated. All our systems with the exception of this one(HP server) are currently running a blocking factor of 500 without issue.
Thanks in Advance

Small backups done using dd or tar complete without any problem. So far I've tested up to about 500MB. I'm not exactly sure yet, but somewhere in the small GB range, tar reports an I/O error on st0 and then the device files disappear - i.e. /dev/st0 is gone. The only way to get them back it seems is to not just reboot, but to power off, and wait a few minutes.
After the I/O error is reported, the following (snippet) is seen in dmesg:

Presumably, this is due to the device file having disappeared.
Does anybody have any thoughts or suggestions on how to troubleshoot this further?
Many thanks in advance!

Re: Tar command issue with Ultrium LTO-4 1760 on SAS bus
In order to support a blocking factor larger than 248 the P212 card requires that a 256 M cache module be attached as well. HP is now in the process of proofing the issue in their support lab. As of yet the issue has not been resolved but we are getting closer.
As for what additionally could be done. I would suggest running the ADU/LTT on the card and open a support call with HP. HP will require you provide the ADU/LTT output to resolve the issue.
Lastly, I would greatly appreciate not confusing the current issue with yours. It seems it would be appropriate that you start a new thread describing your issue in detail and reference my thread if you feel it would help. Your issue is on a different OS with a different card.
I will post the resolution in detail as soon as the issue has been resolved.
Thanks

Re: Tar command issue with Ultrium LTO-4 1760 on SAS bus
Indeed, I should have started a new thread despite the similarities between the two problems, my bad, and my apologies. I will do just that.
In the meantime, I will continue to monitor this thread and thank you for the updates as you are able to provide them which may assist in resolution of the problem I'm experiencing.
Cheers!

Re: Tar command issue with Ultrium LTO-4 1760 on SAS bus
"the lab has been able to duplicate this issue- which is good cause now they can figure out why & get a fix. No ETA for it but will keep you in the loop"
Will update when issue comes to final conclusion.
