We have a Qualstar 4212 tape library with two Sony AIT-2 tape drives installed. It is attached to an IBM xSeries 330 server via an Adaptec SCSI adapter. The OS is Windows 2000 server with SP4, hotifxes and the SP4 rollup applied. Within the last 5 days, the robotic library has twice gone "off-line" within Veritas BE 8.6, but the tape drives have not.
Rebooting doesn't seem to help - however, manually stopping and restarting the BE services does bring the robotic library back on-line.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
