Archiver with AIT tape drive somehow set the tape freespace to 0


Product

  Prinergy Connect 2.1 ; Prinergy Direct 2.1 ; Prinergy Access 2.1

Platform

 

Operating system

 


Error

 

None.


Symptoms

 

When trying to archive to a tape, it failed with no writable media. The freespace of the tape is set to 0, but the used space of the tape is not close to full capacity.


Cause

  There are two reasons that archiver will set the tape to 0.

1. When there is a CRC error writing to the tape.

2. When there is a drive problem that having problem to detect the freespace on the tape.


Solution

 

1. Check the diag log and find out why the archiver set the freespace to 0.

If there is a CRC error when writing to the tape, the archiver will complete the tape and set the freespace to 0 also.

Clean the drive as well.

2. Check the system event log to see whether there is any bad block error on the drive.

If there is a drive problem, you may want to clean the drive.

If cleaning the drive does not help, you need to replace the drive then.

Permanent fix:
