Hi everyone,
At our site we have a Windows server which is the master server and the media server. We use a StorageTek L40 tape library with 3 LTO1 drives. 1 drive is connected to the media server and the other 2 are connected to te SCSI bus of our NetApp Filer (FAS 3020 running ONTAP 7.1.1). We use these two drives with NDMP.
We used to run Windows 2000 / NBU 5.1 MP5, but my manager wanted me to upgrade to Windows 2003 / NBU 6.0 MP3. First I did a clean install of Win2003 and installed NBU 5.1 MP5. After that I did a restore of the catalog and let the system run with the 'new' OS for a few days. That went well. Finally I upgraded to NBU 6.0 MP3 and everything seemed to work ok.
"Well, good for you!"... I hear you saying.
Here it comes...After a few days we started getting the following errors. (Not every day, but it bothers me a lot!)

The tape is brand new so that should not be a problem.
Anyone?
