Hello to the list, I'm using Debian Squeeze, and succesfully setup a single Ultrium LTO3 virtual tape. Connecting via iscsi to the Debian hosts from ubuntu, /dev/st0 is usable and works prefectly. Connecting from a Win2k3 host, the device is correctly detected, the drivers are installed and the tape drive appears in device manager. Unfortunately, the native windowze backup can't use iscsi targets. In CA ArcServe 11.5 sp4 and 12 sp1, the tape drive is detected, I can format the virtual tape. But when I start a backup, ArcServe fails the job giving the error E3895 2011-11-14 22:12:02 Unable to position media. (MEDIA=VIRT01 [S/N: ], ID=356C, SEQ=1, EC=CONTROLLER FAILURE or HARDWARE ERROR) On the Debian hosts, syslog shows repeated multiple times: Nov 14 22:16:23 marstor01 tgtd: tape_rdwr_request(604) io error 0x21993d0 11 0 0 0, Success Suggestione on how to investigate this problem ? Feel free to ask me further data ... -- Gabriele -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stgt" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
