Subject:   SCB timeout on SCSI DDS tape drive
Message-ID:  <004501c27a29$0d38a8a0$29446596@Flip>

Good morning,

I am having a problem with a DDS tape drive in a 4.4 RELEASE machine. It has
been operating without a problem for > 12 months but suddenly last week the
following error started to appear (see below).

Is it a media error? Or do I suspect hardware failure? I have tried two new
media cartridges and various reboots. Perhaps the machine needs to be
physically powered off to reset the bus? The various commands (i.e. mt
status) hang for a few minutes and then return "device not configured"
errors.

I would be grateful for any assistance that could be provided.

Thank you,

Mark
