semaphore timeout period?? anyone knows this one

[mahaMutant]

I'm at home (apologies, but no log file) - recovering from all the £%$$£!"£!"$£*(& headaches!

I am running BENT 8.6 on a PowerEdge 2550 Win 2K Server box with a DLT tape drive. I have not managed to complete a single successful backup...I have had 'em all from IO errors to device not ready etc.

Anyone knows what sempahore timeout period means?

I have almost given up - considering a SAN or somethig along those lines.

KersenMutant:

You are 100 % correct > you have I/O issues
Filter the System logs for ID's = 7,9 , 11 or 15's . The event viewers can also be used to analyse the scsi sense code which will allow you to get a more specific error

Check out this technote:

Don't think the software is at fault, you will only go round in circles.
