Read problem with T10000C tape drive.
There is a T10000 rackmount tape storage with T10000C tape drive. It is directly connected to a v890 servr with Solaris 10 and Emulex HBA.u
OS sees the drive properly. The drive can write without problems but can not read:
# tar cvf /dev/rmt/1n Sol10u10.iso
a Sol10u10.iso 4463360 tape blocks
# mt -f /dev/rmt/1 status
STK T10000C tape drive:
sense key(0x0)= No Additional Sense residual= 0 retries= 0
file no= 1 block no= 0
# cd /tmp
# tar xvf /dev/rmt/1 Sol10u10.iso
x Sol10u10.iso, 2285240320 bytes, 4463360 tape blocks
tar: tape read error
tar: close error: I/O error
