I would like to get in touch with anyone else using an Exabyte EZ17 with Mammoth 2 tape drive and share notes.
I have an Exabyte EZ17 with Mammoth 2 tape drive. I have been struggling for over a year trying to stabilize this backup system.
Yesterday was the 3rd time our drive was deemed as needing service by Exabyte tech support. We are now in the process of RMAing and hopefully will receive a replacement drive within a week or so (yeah right). I have spent hundreds of hours reinstalling drivers, changing cables, testing tapes, using M2 Monitor to capture dump upon dump from the drive, etc....
I would like to get in touch with anyone else using an Exabyte EZ17 with Mammoth 2 tape drive and share notes. I have much much documentation about all of the struggles I have gone through.
My latest problems are documented here, online, to facilitate knowledge-sharing:
Thanks for your interest.
