Folks, did anyone notice a problem with HP LTO3 drives in SSO configuration, running NBU 5.1 on Solaris 8 ?
Once - twice a week I have bptm debug logs reporting in the middle 22:03:41.746 [19156] <2> send_brm_msg: MEDIA NOT READY 22:03:41.746 [19156] <2> write_data: attempting write error recovery, err = 5 22:03:41.746 [19156] <2> tape_error_rec: error recovery to block 1485323 requested 22:03:41.746 [19156] <2> tape_error_rec: attempting error recovery, delay 3 minutes before next attempt, tries left = 5 22:06:41.739 [19156] <2> io_ioctl: command (0)MTWEOF 0 from (overwrite.c.488) on drive index 43 22:06:41.739 [19156] <2> io_ioctl: MTWEOF failed during error recovery, I/O error 22:08:40.745 [19156] <2> tape_error_rec: cannot read position for error recovery, scsi_determine_bt ret -1 CDB 0x12 SK 0x0 ASC 0x0 ASCQ 0x0 and immediatly after in /var/adm/messages I see Mar 5 22:03:41 vepanyup03 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],700000/SUNW,[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 (st297): Mar 5 22:03:41 vepanyup03 SCSI transport failed: reason 'timeout': giving up Mar 5 22:07:40 vepanyup03 bptm[19156]: [ID 832037 daemon.error] scsi command failed, may be timeout, scsi_pkt.us_reason = 6 Mar 5 22:07:47 vepanyup03 fctl: [ID 517869 kern.warning] WARNING: 3654=>fp(1)::GPN_ID for D_ID=150500 failed Mar 5 22:07:47 vepanyup03 fctl: [ID 517869 kern.warning] WARNING: 3655=>fp(1)::N_x Port with D_ID=150500, PWWN=500104f0005ddda2 disappeared from fabric Mar 5 22:08:40 vepanyup03 bptm[19156]: [ID 832037 daemon.error] scsi command failed, may be timeout, scsi_pkt.us_reason = 6 Mar 5 22:09:01 vepanyup03 scsi: [ID 243001 kern.info] /[EMAIL PROTECTED],700000/SUNW,[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 (fcp1): Mar 5 22:09:01 vepanyup03 offlining lun=0 (trace=0), target=150500 (trace=2800004) Mar 5 22:11:40 vepanyup03 bptm[19156]: [ID 498531 daemon.error] user scsi ioctl() failed, may be timeout, errno = 5, I/O error Drives "lock" up and becomes iresponsive. Front panel light show no signs of problem with solid green light on. Pressing eject button does not do anything. Brocade 4100 switch port does not "see" the drive anymore and shows "In_Sync" instead of the "Online". The only way to bring the drive back is the powercycle. A minute or two after the powercycling I can eject the tape and see fctl: [ID 517869 kern.warning] WARNING: 3799=>fp(1)::N_x Port with D_ID=150500, PWWN=500104f0005ddda2 reappeared in fabric in /var/adm/messages Drives and library are at the latest f/w revision. SUN and STK are clueless, but still looking for the last week. -- Misha Pavlov Société Générale desk: (212) 278-6096 cell: (646) 346-9341 This message uses only 100% recycled electrons. ************************************************************************* This message and any attachments (the "message") are confidential and intended solely for the addressees.
