Exabyte 8500 I/O error ?

2007-12-25 7:42:00

Greetings,

here is the summary of responses to my query, No real solution, but lots of

hints

The problem seems to exist at many sites, but nobody really

have a reason for the failure.

It might be related to the SunOS st driver, the EXB-5000,

some other SCSI device in the chain, power supply noise,

etc...,

I suspect tape defect, so I will be ordering better quality tape.

During the last week, I saw no failure on 6 tapes, while the

week before I had 3 failures in a row.

I will investigate further during the week.
