Betreff: Re: [Bacula-users] Issue with tape library setup (btape fill command)
Hello Stefan, Hello Gary,
Thank you both for your time and answers, much appreciated.
Stefan,
We tested the btape fill with our bacula_sd.conf pointing to the tape devise as
nst instead of st in case this made a difference but sadly no, same error
(after 2.3TB this time).
Gary,
That’s an interesting point, maybe we can switch to fiber connectors at some
point but as the system is new that might be difficult to justify right now.
However, we reached out to HPE in case this is indeed linked to a hardware
issue.
I will update for posterity if it turns out to be a hardware linked.
Thanks again
Jean-Baptiste

I had a similar problem long ago when using a SCSI-connected HP auto-loader,
every now and then a tape would error, and it would ask to be cleaned.
We replaced the SCSI version with a Fibre-Channel version, and have had no
problems since.
Cheers,
