Backup was working fine, rebooted the server today
and cant backup anything. Was a weekend today so didnt have any time to continue trouble shooting.


Here is the full error:

E6300: Windows NT SCSI PORT error:[ABSL:2010 Cmd:1h]SCSI command retry

I tried totally powering off the server as I used to have this on an old NT4 server with veritas and resetting seemed to sort it out.

I want to check all the connections etc. first thing but dont really want any downtime on the server.

Could anyone suggest something to check firstly.

Win2k server
Arcserve 2000 SP4
IBM netinfinity

IBM Quantum DLT 7000 on SCSI id 2, 7 disk autochanger

Nothing has changed on the server, im sure we have rebooted since applying SP4 for arcserve, which is the only thing I think has changed

SCSI card is adaptec AIC 7899 ultra 160/m
 
Hmm lame software

Its been running fine for a few months on SP4

I basically removed arcserve totally on the storage server, then reinstalling original from cd, and reapplied sp4

Worked again straight away

GRRRR
 
Hi

Had the same thing this morning after a Power Down. We have a tape library and the drive's had removed themselves from the device group. I re-inserted them and all was fine.

Hello,

we are running Dell Poweredge 6400, NT4, Dell DLT 7000 7 tape changer. Arcserve 661.

I had a recurring error in my error logs:
scsi:LUN bad, ha index 1, device 1, LUN0.

Shortly thereafter it would recover the LUN. This was due to a setting in Adaptec CIO Management folder: iomgr.ini
change: TapeBusyTolerationTime = 300

hope this helps.

I got the same darn problem things were working fine and then BAM scsi port error then after that the log reads cannot read tape hardware error. After looking around and talkind to CA those good for nothing !@$!$#%$. I still cannot fix it I have changed the server but same thing compaq says it CA and vise versa.
 
arcserve2k,

Please contact me with your issue number when you engaged support and I can look into this for you. Just note that I contacted you here.

Check your tapes. Sometimes a bad tape, or a slew of tapes may give out the same error. Because the machine cannot access the offending tape(s) ARCserve "thinks" the hardware is at fault or something in the SCSI channel. Reformatting the tape won't in this case help, since the tape may just bee too worn out.
