You may have already done this but have you powered everything off and
back on? These small tape drives are really computers with a very
limited user interface and to be honest things like this have a tendency
to have bugs in the error recovery process. Turning everything off and
back on my reset
I have the above device and when I put in a tape I get a little shudder
from the drive and no response ( wind on etc, etc) The fundamental
problem is that if load Arcserve it tries to update the state of the
tape it does this for about o an hour then hangs the server
saying aspi board
How...do I get retrospect to let me erase tapes from a multi - tape set that
are being recycled and the index has long been tossed?

Steve,
There's a strong possibility that you're suffering from one or more of the
dreaded 'stupid switch, stupid plugplay' syndrome. If you can, put it on a
fast ethernet hub (NOT a 10/100 hub!) and test. If that works, fix the
switch port to 100 half duplex.

G'morning all,
I have an odd bird here and, though it probably doesn't make a whole lot of
difference in my backup integrity, it is frustrating and annoying
nonetheless.
I have 7 drives in my local container. When I rewrote my scripts about 6
weeks ago the drives/partitions were in this order:
The way I did it was to recreate a catalog and cancel it once it
started reading the tape. Then you have a bit of a catalog which is
enough and you can then erase it as normal.
