Hi everybody,
I have a problem with NetWorker 7.2 block size, in fact, and the daemon log file, I have this message :
03/18/05 09:38:02 nsrd: media warning: \\.\Tape1 writing: unknown error 1117 (0x45d), at file 3 record 6950
03/18/05 09:38:02 nsrd: media notice: sdlt tape FULLSDLT.001 on \\.\Tape1 is full
03/18/05 09:38:02 nsrd: media notice: sdlt tape FULLSDLT.001 used 2986 MB of 273 GB capacity
03/18/05 09:39:02 nsrd: media notice: Volume "FULLSDLT.001" on device "\\.\Tape1": Block size is 32768 bytes not 131072 bytes. Verify the device configuration. Tape positioning by record is disabled.
Well, the problem is that a tape of approximatively 273GB is full WITH ONLY 2986 MB.
Also the \\.\Tape is a SDLT model; so according to the administration guide we create the environments variables such as:
NSR_DEV_BLOCK_SIZE_MSG=YES and NSR_DEV_BLOCK_SIZE_SDLT=256
(for the DLT7000, I know that the variable is NSR_DEV_BLOCK_SIZE_DLT7000 = value; but for the SDLT, the variable NSR_DEV_BLOCK_SIZE_SDLT is the good one ???)
Moreover, on the regedit tool, we create :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\aec67160\Parameters\Device41]
"MaximumSGList"=dword:00000041
We have used aec67160 because the SCSI card for the SDLT is an adaptec card called ACARD; on the card we see:ACARD ATP880-A MABA30701-C ACARD BIOS AEC67160 VER:1.10.2 LVD/SE 67160 REV:1.5
Finally the output of the commands scanner -vvv \\.\Tape1 and the mt -f \\.\Tape1 status give:
scanner: volume id 5047862 record size 262144
and
defaut blocksize = 65536
maximum blocksize = 1040384
If we change the tape by another one (a new one that never been used also) the problem is the same; the tape is never fill.
The tape is Quantum superDLT model.
Thanks for any advice,
Best regards,
Marc
