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

Howdy, Stranger!
