Re: Tape device Status is NO_HW

Tape in DVD drive?

However, NO_HW means it was there, but it is no longer visible.

Hope this helps!

Check if the tape drive is powered on and connected. Check cable for bent pins. Check for terminator.

Hope this helps!

Re: Tape device Status is NO_HW

I have 2 driver in disk array.Its working fine in one driver and another driver has a problem to detect a tape (NO_HW)

In that server i got an error message in dmesg is

SCSI Ultra320 1/0/14/1/1 instance 5: Domain Validation failed, device offline. Target ID = 5.

The above mentioned error will cause a problem or not.can u guide me further..

Re: Tape device Status is NO_HW

The message "Domain Validation failed, device offline. Target ID = 5." is pretty cryptic but what it means is that the HBA saw errors on the cable and tried using a slower speed but the error rate was too high at the slowest speed.

There is a problem somewhere in the bus, usually that means a damaged cable. Maybe somebody tripped over it if it external or it could be a failed terminator. Most of the time this error is some sort of damaged cabling.

Replace the cable. Reboot the server to reset the host adapter. Run tape software diagnostics to see if you have a bad tape drive.
