Good Evening I am seeing the following error on a lto gen 2 cart. Of course murphy says that this is a tape that we need for a restore.
So the restore is taking forever. Which brings up several questions. 1) My fuzzy memory says that there was a special command for adsm/tsm to handle this probem with 3590's Is there a tsm command for lto? 2) Does anyone have a benchmark time for how long it would take to do an audit volume on a lto gen 2 cart to clear this problem? I assume that would clear the the problem. Does the restore clear the problem for future use, or does it have to be a read of the tape from bot to eot? Can this cart be damaged such that the directory can not be repaired? I tried a google search -- but only found some c code to monitor scsi devices. I have opened a pmr, but at first pass the andr89502 comes up with hardware errors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ANR8950W Device mt0.0.0.7, volume UT0061L2 has issued the following Warning TapeAlert: The tape directory on the tape cartridge has been corrupted. File search performance will be degraded. The tape directory can be rebuilt by reading all the data on the cartridge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for any insight -- len boyle
