Hi *SMers,
have any of you seen this?
At one location we have two exactly the same AIX (4.3.2.0) ADSM (3.1.2.40)
servers with 3575 L06 lib with C drives.
One one of the servers some time ago the tape drives failed with error code
46. We tried to upgrade atape, and the microcode as well, but made no
difference... The hw and sw setup for the two servers is exactly the same.
One failed, the other did not.
The error msgs:
ANR8779E Unable to open drive /dev/rmt1, error number=46
ANR8792E Unrecoverable drive failures on drive DRIVE0 (/dev/rmt1);
drive is now taken offline.
ANR8470W Initialization failure on drive DRIVE0 (/dev/rmt1) in library 3575LIB.
ANR8779E Unable to open drive /dev/rmt2, error number=46.
ANR8792E Unrecoverable drive failures on drive DRIVE1 (/dev/rmt2);
drive is now taken offline.
Oh, and one more nice thing. There is no indication of error in the AIX
error log at all, but we can reproduce the 46 error code using tapeutil,
when closing the device, or testing if it's ready...
Any idea would be highly appreciated. I am almost desperate...
