I have several AIT-3 tapes from one of our customers that we can not import into our Netbackup server. The backup tapes were used on a Netbackup Version 4.5FP_3GA server. The tape drives used were SONY SDX-700C drives running with firmware level 0202.
Our Netbackup server is running version 5.1 on a Sun Solaris server. The output from "uname -a" shows we are using the following; SunOS 5.8 Generic_117350-26 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R. We are using SONY SDX-700C drives at firmware level 0208.
Our attempts to run Phace One Import are failing with the following errors;
Block read is not a Netbackup or Backup Exec media header, Len = 512, media id ######, drive index #, data is ANSI-format
Status = cannot read media header, may not be Netbackup media or is corrupted
The Phase One ends with an error code (172).
We have tried several things to correct this difficulty. We tried changing our server to use Fixed Block Sizes instead of variable block. We tried changing the size of the data buffer. Nothing has worked so far.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what we need to do to correct this problem?
