Hi,

Could you check your tape, clean the tape drive and even try a new tape.

Before I just cleaned the tape becouse I had some problem.
Now I try again clean. Thanks.

Hi,

As suggested either clean the tape, mediainit or try a new one.

I also would add that you upgrade your Ignite to reasonably latest version. make_recovery has been outdated and if you have newer systems, there is a good chance that the recovery may not work.

Hi,

If cleaning the tape drive again doesn't solve the problem, then either try a new tape or run mediainit on this tape & try again.
