mt offl error

Running HP-UX 11.0 on L2000 server. When I issue the 'mt offl' command to rewind and eject the DAT tape, I get the message "offline 1 failed: I/O error". The tape ejects - which is what I want, but I've never had this message from other servers. What is causing it?

Hi,

Have you tried by replacing tape and cleaning the drive?

Is the same drive used on all server?

HTH,

Hi

You could test this media on another server and it it works try a new media on the drive which gives an error if it still gives error you need to get the drive replaced I think.
