Thu Oct 31 09:41:53 2002, Error: Backup client side did not receive necessary starting information from server. Output was:. Thu Oct 31 09:41:53 2002, Streamer state: READY Server-ID: hatteras:/usr/local/afbackup/server/etc Precious tapes: - . Thu Oct 31 09:41:53 2002, Full backup failed. The server log says Thu Oct 31 09:41:07 2002, Warning: Setting the file number 50 failed. Thu Oct 31 09:41:07 2002, Error: Command 62 ('>') failed (cannot open device for writing) However when I query the tape drive on the server I get: laser# /usr/local/afbackup/client/bin/afclient -qwv -h hatteras Streamer state: READY Server-ID: hatteras:/usr/local/afbackup/server/etc Precious tapes: - Current tape access position Cartridge: 1 File: 1 Number of cartridges: 1 Current cartridge set: 1 Also pref-client on the server says: laser.marine.tradewindse.com 1036080814 And server-ids on the client says: hatteras 2988 hatteras:/usr/local/afbackup/server/etc So, obviously the client and server can find and recognize each other and the client can find the tape drive. Anybody know how to decrypt these error messages to find the cause of why the tape is not starting? The tape light comes on and the tape moves, so the tape is being accessed. Apparently though the tape isn't being opened for wrting. Hardware and software : Server: Sun Ultra 5 , Solaris 8. Tape Drive Hp1553 4 mm DAT , client: freebsd4-7-Release afbackup software version: 3.3.7p13 Anybody have any ideas or seen something like this before?
