Arcserve7 Netware6 Failed to flush tape driver buffer

[DvLunteren]

Hello.
Situation: Just installed Novell Netware 6-SBS, with SP3, on a Proliant ML350-G2, 1Gb with a internal DLT VS 40/80, firmware V051. On top of it I installed Arcserve Brighstor V7 with all available updates and patches.

During the backup I got the error: E1039 Failed to flush tape driver buffer - Drive or Media failure.

I tested the drive with HP_LTT and there it is working as designed. I also swapped the drive with another one, but that didn't help. I get the error with al tapes I'm using and the tapes are the correct ones and new.

Anyone any suggestions. I already searched all of the Internet (and I almost felt off).

Regards,

Dennis.

Dennis,

Did you ever find a resolution for this. We seem to be having a similar problem with our Ultrium 2 drive. The funny thing is it fails on the first volume it tries to backup but then seems to be fine with all of the other volumes. Also, it doesn't always happen. It seems to be like every other day.

Thanks for your help,

Daniel

The resolution was to install backup exec (from veritas) thus this wasn't the only problem whit arcserve. We were also unable to walk the tree (after several weeks). The problems were database related and could be resolved by replacing the database, but it reapears everytime after several weeks.

cheers Dennis.
