I am running Veritas BE Version 8.5 with a single tape Dell Powervault 110T. The unit has worked great for the past 400 hours and then all of the sudden my jobs started failing with the following error in the log:
"The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error"
I can still inventory tapes and a few thousand bytes of data actually gets written to the tape before the job fails (this varies in size). I updated the tape drivers to the latest version but still no luck.
I think I've got a tape drive failure but is there anything else I can try before I replace this thing?
Thanks,
Craig
