HP LTO Ultrium-3 showing offline in Symantec Backup Exec
We are having a server which has "Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard - Service pack 1" 64-bit OS installed.
We are using "Symantec Backup Exec 2010 R3" to take the backup on the Taps.
We have bought a used "HP LTO Ultrium-3" tape drive, regulatory model BRSLA-0401-DC and model: Q1538A”. It is showing in the device manger under the "Tape drives".
When we restart the server we are getting the following event
Event id: 11
Event: adpu320
Description: The driver detected a controller error on \Device\RaidPort1.
In Backup Exec also, it is showing under the Devices. But, when we run the inventory it is giving following error
"Physical Volume Library Drive or Robot paused, offline, or disabled." And the drive goes offline.
We have a single internal tape drive but still getting this error. I have tried the following,
- installed HP as well as Symantec drivers
- Tried 3 different SCSI cards (Adaptec 29320, 29160)
- Tried 3 different SCSI cables
- Different Tapes – Maxell and HP brand
- Two different HP LTO Ultrium 3 drives
And, of course, restarted the server many times but it is always the same behavior.
I can’t think of anything else and would appreciate any insight.
Following is the HP LTT tool test result

Re: HP LTO Ultrium-3 showing offline in Symantec Backup Exec
It appears the tape drive needs to be replacement since the test failed. It is suggested to re-run the LTO Drive Assessment test with HP-labelled tape to confirm the failure.
