I have a Dell PowerEdge 4400 and an Exabyte M2 8 Drive tape library running Backup Exec 8.6 on Windows 2000.
Everyday, 4-5 jobs fail due to CRC errors, I/O errors or semaphore errors. It involves all drives seemingly picked at random. The cables are all good and secure, the server doesn't report anything wrong with the 4 scsi controllers, the Exabyte library doesn't report any errors either.
I have addressed the semaphore error I believe by setting the silent period to 3 seconds instead of 5.
I am at my wits end, 7-8 jobs fail daily because of the above errors. I would love to print out log reports but I can't figure out how. I have to read each log to discover the problem!
Any help with the CRC or I/O errors would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Dave
