Problem Description
|
|
BackupEDGE prompts for volume 2 during verify, when none existed.
|
|
Cause
|
|
This problem has been traced to an error in the SCO tape device
driver. It was introduced in the early releases of Open Server 5.0.0.
The error falsely reports a media error during a read as an EOF
marker, therefore causing edge to prompt for a second volume.
|
|
Solution
|
|
SCO has provided an update to the SCSI tape driver in 5.0.5 and 5.0.4
OpenServer to fix problems resulting in BackupEDGE receiving and EOT,
or End Of Tape message when it shouldn't.
The driver and installation instructions may be found at
ftp://ftp.microlite.com/pub/SCO_Stp_Driver_Fix
The readme.txt instruction file is critical to a successful installation.
The error condition is still a hard I/O read error and should be
treated as such. Common remedies are to try new tapes, clean the
tape heads, check cabling and termination.
