I am getting the following error: ANR8302E I/O error on drive DRIVE2 (mt2.0.0.5) (OP=LOCATE, Error Number=23, CC=0, KEY=03, ASC=14, ASCQ=00, SENSE=70.00.03.00.00.00.00.1C.00.00.00.00.14.00.06.00.20.80.00.00.00.00.00.00. - 00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00. - 00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00. - 00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00, Description=An undetermined error has occurred). Refer to Appendix D in the 'Messages' manual for recommended action. ANR8359E Media fault detected on LTO volume 000024 in drive DRIVE2 (mt2.0.0.5) of library IBM3583.
Over the period of one month, tsm have reported media fault on 5 different tapes. Every week, a different tape is reporting error. IBM CEs checked the hardware to ensure that the tape drives and the library have the latest firmware. They also ran a diagnostic on the library and didn't find a problem. Tape drives are fine since the same tape reports error on different drives. I end up restoring the bad tape from the second copy every time I see this problem. I am using IBM3583 library with 3 lto drives. TSM version is 5.1.1.0. Please help as I am clueless at this point. Anwer Adil
