HI Guys Mark, did you ever get this problem solved, 'cuase I'm now sitting with a similar problem?
When I attempt to read data of a cartridge with a bad block, the server goes belly up. I've upgrade from 5.1.5.0 to 5.1.8.0, along with the device driver. I'm sure this problem only started after the drive firmware was upgraded to 36U3, as we had no problem when we were on 35V0, in fact we upgraded to 35V0 to solve an issue where we had numerous tapes being marked as having 1000's of bad blocks, but after upgrading the firmware, the tapes were fine, with no errors up 'til now. 3584 with 3 drives, library firmware 3480, drive firmware 36U3, library driver 5.0.6.5, Adsmscsi.sys 5.1.8.3, Windows 2000 SP4 Leigh. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Bertrand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 August 2003 21:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: BSOD: STOP: 0x000000B8 Anyone ever seen or have a solution for this? Problem: TSM server is "blue screening" every couple of hours after a drive replacement and firmware, software drivers updated for library and all drives. We are currently at IBM 3584 library with 6 drives, Library firmware v. 3300, drive firmware v. 36U3, drive software driver (ibmtape.sys) v. 5.0.5.4, library software driver (ibmchgr.sys) v. 5.0.5.4, Adsmscsi.sys 4.2.2.4, OS Windows 2000 v. 5.0(Build 2195: Service Pack 3), Storage Management Server for Windows - Version 5, Release 1, Level 6.3 Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 287582 SYMPTOMS After you install Tivoli Storage Manager software on a computer that is running Windows 2000 Server, you may receive the following blue screen error message when you restart the computer: STOP: 0x000000B8 (0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000) ATTEMPTED_SWITCH_FROM_DPC CAUSE This issue can be caused by the Adsmscsi.sys driver in Storage Manager. If you analyze the dumpfile, you see that the Tivoli Storage Manager driver is calling KeDelayExecutionThread inside of a deferred procedure call (DPC). RESOLUTION (gotta love this?) To work around this issue, start the computer in Safe mode, which prevents the driver from loading, and then disable the following Tivoli services: * TSM Scheduler * TSM Server1 * ADSM Server After you stop these services, restart the computer. To resolve this issue, visit the following Tivoli Web site to obtain an updated Windows 2000-compatible version of Storage Manager software: <http://www.tivoli.com> Any help is appreciated.
