I am running a GFS rotation scheme and am backing up about 400 Gigs of data. The job starts, formats the tape finishs the first tape, formats the second tape (sequence #2) and then I get a variety of media errors.
E3855 - Unable to position media, E3719- Unable to write to media, E6096 - Media Error, E3712-unable to close session.
After the job fails I can reformat that second tape and rerun the remaining files - so the tape is not bad as the software says. If I try to rerun the job on the sequence #2 tape without a format the job will fail with a media error.
I am using a Compaq MSL5026. I have run the Library and tape tools, the firmware is up to date of both drives, all of the hardware tests have passed. I just ran SP3 on Brightstor.
Certainly 50% of my tapes cannot be bad. "The New HP" say's it's Computer Associates and they say it's the library and of course I am tearing my hair out.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.
Nico
