exalumno Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 we have this error randomly. What´s this error means? How can we solve this problem? On library we haven´t any errors. Thanks. O.S: 10.6.8 Software: Retrospect 9.0.2 Library: Quantum scalar I500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twickland Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 This is likely a hardware issue. Please give us more information about your hardware setup, including computer, device connection type and HBA if applicable, and the drive associated with the library.

twickland Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 You are going to need to perform a diagnostic search. The problem could be with the library, either of the tape drives, or in the SAS chain. For starters, can you determine when this error is generated? Does it happen when a tape member is being accessed by the library or when a tape is being written to or read from? Does it happen with only one of the two tape drives? You have another thread where you talk about having difficulty restoring a file and are getting "file incomplete" errors. That suggests either that there is a problem reading from the tape member during the restore or verify, or that something went wrong when originally writing to the tape during the backup. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including a failing tape drive. Have you gotten any other error messages that may be related to the tape drive? I think I would start with running HP's Library and Tape Tools (LTT) to see if anything seems amiss with your tape drives. The Mac version of LTT runs in Terminal; you'll also need to stop the Retrospect engine so LTT can access the drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exalumno Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 This error occurs randomly, if I do a backup that have 20 members, this error happen in member 3 (no other errors). This error don´t occur on begin access or begin written, occur in the middle of backup. I try to verify if this error occur in one drive or two drive. No other errors to the tape drive.

exalumno Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 We enable tape alert on retrospect and we recived this error: (HP Ultrium Gen 5 DC, ID 0:1:0 | media: 3-LOLA_02 | barcode: 000055) : The memory in the tape cartridge has failed, which reduces performance. Do not use the cartridge for further write operations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
