Multiple Tape Alerts after Inventory

[Jeffrey_Walton]

Hi All,

After I swap in tapes to a PoverVault 132T, I receive the message below. I used to think it was due to Hard Read/Write errors on the media, but it is not the case. What would be some common causes of this issue? The critical below is of concern.

Additionally, the PowerVaulty has completed it's inventory befor I run the BUE inventory.

Also note that this message is inserted between the inventory of slot 2 and slot 3. Is this significant?

A quick search last week turned up nothing on the issue.

Thanks,
Jeff

Message between the inventory of slot 2 and slot 3 is not significant. I would suggest you follow these steps and perform the inventory again:

Follow these Steps after uninstalling the driver.
1) Turn the device off.
2) Turn the server off.
3) Turn the device on fist.
4) Turn the server on next.
5) Install the latest veritas driver from following link:
