SCSI TAPE: dev = 0xcd035040 I/O error during close

[Amran Md Said]

Is this eror messages indicates that the tape drives is broken.
Thanks

To suggest
This could be of two reasons

1.Tape on the drive is not okay.Try replacing the tape.
2.Clean your tape drive.

I think you are running dmesg on the system and would like to know the details on them.

If still after replacing the tape and cleaning the drive you get messages call the HP to replace the drive


Thanks

Exactly where do you see this error message?
Is it during the backup your using, or in the system log (/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log) or in the output of 'dmesg' ?

You can test the tape drive and SCSI card using the 'mstm' command. This may indicate a problem.

If this problem has only started occurring and continues, and you have replaced the tape(s), suggest if you have a support contract get the drive replaced.

Hi,

This error indicates that you most likely using a bad tape. Suggest you try a new tape. You could also try cleaning the drive, but you shouldn't do this unless the cleaning drive light is on.

Hi,

Well in addition to the other comments above, it happens also if brand new tapes are used or tapes with a different format (tar,cpio).
