Does anyone else experience frequent backup failures?
We have an F840 cluster and we use NetVault to perform ndmpd backups to an overland tape library. Many times we receive messages like
Mon Nov 25 02:43:55 MST [filer: ispfc_main:error]: Tape (switch:0.1L3) hard media error: Sense_Key (3) ASC (c) ASCQ (0)
and the backup fails.
Our same system is also used by a UNIX server and it never fails, so is DataONTAP more sensitive to these types of issues?
Technically, what triggers this?
Any help would be much appreciated,
