device getting disabled
Hello,
We run solstice 6.1 on solaris 8. The library has two drives/devices
and one of the devices gets disabled automatically. No changes has been
made to solstice or the library.
The error message is:
Solstice Backup Device Disabled: (warning) Device /dev/rmt/0hbn is automatically disabled. consecutive errors (21) exceeded the maximum consecutive errors allowed. Please fix the device or set a higher value for the Max consecutive errors attribute in the device resource.
iostat -En
Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0
Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0
rmt/0 Soft Errors: 671 Hard Errors: 3 Transport Errors: 3313
Vendor: HP Product: Ultrium 1-SCSI Revision: E3BR Serial No: C310P.31
rmt/1 Soft Errors: 34 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 72
Vendor: HP Product: Ultrium 1-SCSI Revision: E3BR Serial No:
The library does not show any error and I have restarted the UNIX server, restarted the library, reset the auto loader and did inventory check but nothing seems to help
but I still get the foll errors
media warning: /dev/rmt/0hbn opening: I/O error.
I am unable to load the media to the drive and I get the following error:
Illegal request asc 0x00 ascq 0x16
Can anyone advise. HP says the drives seems to be ok as the led's are green and library status is ok. I know we need to upgrade but that is a diff matter

Normally, this happens due to intermitent problems with the drive. Clean the drive and may be sk HP to run their tools to check drive's condition like HP Library & Tape Tools etc.
