LTO Drives

[CA1218934]

Hi,

we have just implemented a Windows 2000 Server with a HP LTO drive an are getting a similar message thru eventviewer i.e. Event Id 52:

The driver has detected that \Device\Tape0 has predicted that it will fail. Immediately back up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure will be imminent.

We are also using the comm vault software which may be coincidental?

Any info would be appreciated.

regards

Neil

Neil, start by downloading the Library and Tape Tools diagnostic from here to test your drive.

I have also attached a link to some useful information regarding LTO performance and connectivity
