Hello,
I have a SUN L25 jukebox with one SuperDLT drive installed. It is
connected to a SUN 280R running
Solaris 8. I use Legato 7 for my backup software. I have been using this
setup since May of 2003, things
have been working great.
Now I am having an issue trying to mount a tape. I am trying to
troubleshoot whether or not I have a hardware
issue or software.
Here is the error I get in /var/adm/messages and in the messages in Legato.
Thu 14:17:50 media warning: /dev/rmt/0cbn opening:
DRIVE_STATUS_CARTRIDGE_FAULT
Thu 14:17:50 /dev/rmt/0cbn read open error: drive status is There is a tape
cartridge fault
I have rebooted the Sun server, powered off and then back on the jukebox.
I still get the same error when I try to mount a tape via the software.
I have tried using nsrjb -H and nsrjb -HE
Also, tried mt -f /dev/rmt/0cbn status but it returns " No tape
loaded or drive offline" doesn't matter if I have a cartridge
in the drive or not.
I can move a cartridge from one slot into the SDLT drive via the front
control panel without any problem. It will inventory
all the tapes via their barcodes, but I am unable to mount or even label a
new tape.
I am thinking about deleting the /dev/rmt/* files and trying to re-create.
Just trying to find out if it is a hardware issue or a software
issue.
Anyone have any suggestions or have you ran into something similar?
Thanks,
Dave
