It could also be a media or tapedrive problem. Do you get the error on more then one tapedrive/media? /johnny ________________________________ From: veritas-bu-bounces at mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-bounces at mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Coen, Trevor Sent: 27. jun

Backups and restores were fine, but duplication started getting positioning errors after having worked fine for several months. The answer turneed out to be the end of a sequence of strings in the st.conf. Ours were specific to our drives, which are different from yours. So you need to find out the right strings for your drives. There was a line in st.conf for our drives which was something like---I'm going from memory so DO NOT use this as authoritative: . . . 2, 0x00, 0x42, 1 (The dots stand in place of the beginning of the line) had to be replaced with 1, 0x00 The first one said: "There are 2 densities, 0x00 and 0x42. The first is density #0 and the second is density #1. Use density #1 as the default." Density #1 was 0x42. The replacement said: "There is only one density, namely 0x00." Call Veritas and find out what the st.conf lines for your drive are. Hope that helps! Good luck! Mike Michael P.

We are using Sun L280 stackers and L1800 tape library and we also tried the tape drives on a STK 9710 and got the same error on one of the tape drives. It seems to be Solaris related and can't pinpoint where the problem is. Does anyone had the problem before and any solutions
