Hi!
First apologize my bad English :S .
I have a problem with the backup tapes.
I explained, I use the software amanda and one day on the log went:
Code:
Quote:
*** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH PROPERLY!
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: arinbackup-3.
FAILURE DUMP SUMMARY:
arinvm0301.arin-innovation.com /jdedwards/jde_home RESULTS MISSING
arinvm0302 "c:/jde_home" RESULTS MISSING
amreport: ERROR could not open log /var/lib/amanda/log.20090814233005.0: No such file or directory

Given that there was a problem with the tapes, trying to delete it, but leaves an error of I/O and stay as they were. So reading a bit we decided to erase the tapes internet, and there is no way:
Code:
Quote:
[root@arinsrv03 ~]# mt -f /dev/tape retension
[root@arinsrv03 ~]# mt -f /dev/tape erase
/dev/tape: Input/output error
[root@arinsrv03 ~]# dmesg
st0: Current: sense key: Medium Error
Additional sense: Cartridge fault
Info fld=0x1
[root@arinsrv03 ~]# mt -f /dev/tape status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 512 bytes. Density code 0x44 (no translation).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (41010000):
BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN

Reading a little more for internet and decided to clean the head after leaving the entire night for the next morning the lights were flashing of "error" and "clean heads".
If anyone could help we would appreciate it a lot because he did not know what to do and would be the next step and change the tapes and / or the machine.
The computer has all the cables connected properly and is a Dell Power Edge 2900 and runs under Oracle VM Server 2.1.1
Thanks for reading all!
