I'm backing up to an HP Ultrium 920 with the drive negotiating a 160MB/sec speed.
After the write to the tape completes, it fails to start the verify process. I get a "The job failed with the following error: A hardware error occurred." event.
If I turn off verify and leave eject media after completion selected, I receive a "The job failed with the following error: An invalid command was sent to the storage device." event preceded by a Media Remove alert that I have set to automatically respond to.
When I leave eject and verify unselected, the backup completes successfully, but without a verify that worries me.
If I perform a manual eject job, this completes successfully and ejects the tape.
I have the tape drive connected to my server via a builtin Adaptec 2025ZCR scsi card. On channel 0 I have a single RAID 5 volume, on channel 1 I have the tape drive.
Is this problem occurring because I have the drive connected to a card that has RAID functionality? Unfortunately I cannot install a scsi card into this machine as there is only one slot for expansion (it's a 1U) and that slot is currently filled with a SAS HBA.
