Hi Len et all,

 

I looked in the error warn info logs and I could not find anything
interesting, I have seen temp alarms in one site with SL500s, once, but not
at this particular site.

Thanks for the information though, it seems > B5BF is highly recommended
(Oracle also recommended moving to the newer version).

 

Justin.

Justin, 

 

Do you have a library that will show you a little more detail on the error
from the log that is within the tape drive and or the tape library. Also the
code that shows up on the led display on the front of the tape drive. If
any.

 

We have been having issues with some lto-5 tape drives that appears to be a
cooling fan issue. 

This shows up as a 3584 library issues.

HEC/HECQ B886 (Canister cooling fan failure)

 

We had  upgraded the firmware to address several other issue. We are now at
B6W8.

Hi,

I read on this list awhile back there were some media issues others were
having with the IBM LTO-5 tape drives; after an update, things were better.

Currently running B5BF and notice a lot of '(86) - media read errors' on
separate drives in different locations, has anyone seen this, one could
chalk it up to some bad tape media but because it seems to occur across >2
drives in >1 location I was curious if anyone else had seen this issue and
if so, which F/W where they running that seemed to solve the issue?

Drive: IBM LTO-5 8.0gbps F/C

F/W: B5BF

Justin.
