drive comm error
- Thread starter TechyG
- Start date
Drive comm error is usually an issue with the serial comms link between the drive and library controller.
1. First try re-seating the tape drive.
2. Get the drive and/or library up to latest firmware if either are downlevel.
3. This is the most likely: the drive has an internal problem causing it to stop responding to the library controller, and the drive will need changed.

Is this connected to a windows server? You may need to disable the TUR (test unit ready) function in the OS. I have seen this wreck havoc on a tape library. The system / drives are so busy trying to respond to the TUR that it hangs. Google the solutions on how to disable the test unit ready function in windows.
