Hi, I have a Dell PowerEdge server with a RAID 5 and a SCSI tape drive. For the past two years, the tape drive has worked fine. All of the sudden I get: DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon Jun 16 01:00:00 2003 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping /dev/aacd0s1a (/) to /dev/sa0 DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 297479 tape blocks. DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/sa0". DUMP: fopen on /dev/tty fails: Device not configured DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. When doing a dump. mt status shows: server1# mt -f /dev/sa0 status mt: /dev/sa0: Input/output error Does this sound like a scsi bus problem, or perhaps a bad drive? Anything I can do to tell for sure what the problem is? Thanks, Joe
