Hello -
I am running Backup Exec 2012 SB edition and using HP StorgaeWorks Ultrium - LTO drive to make full backups. Since last week the tape storage has not be preforming well taking a long time to back up at a significantly slower speed and the backup fails.
I get an error saying:
Storage device "27 April 2013" reported an error on a request to write data to media.
Error reported: This operation returned because the timeout period expired. V-79-57344-34032 - The device timed out.
The Windows 2003 event viewer says -
Error 33152: Failed to space to end data on device HO Ultrium 4-SCSI %2,53,%4,%5,%6,%7
I figured it is the SCSCI issue. I have updated the current firmware on the HP storage work (LTO-4 SCSI) as well as updated the HP driver (Not Symantec driver) on the LTO drive but am still getting the same error.
My question is that do I need install Symantec driver for the Tape Drive. Earlier when I installed Symantec tape driver I started noticing degradation of the Tape drive performance and that why I changed it.
Thank you all for your help in advance.
