Thanks to Alan Rollow for providing the quick answer.
The question was:
I hav a A4100 with a HSZ50 . The UNIX-Version is V4.0B, the HSOF-
Version is V52Z-0.
My problem, when writing to the tape (tar-files) connected to the HSZ50, the
tape petends to
write the data without any problems.When I want to read something,
the error-message "io-error offset 0" appears.The uerf shows hardware-
error detected, with an errorcode 70 combined with "illegal request".
Replacing the tape didn't change anything. Is there anything to be
aware of when replacing a tape on an HSZ50, because the technican
just replaced the drive.
At the moment I have no access to any backupdata.Any help would be
apreciated.
By the way,when I type in something at the HSZ50-console, a message
appears "swap-signal cleared, all swap signals reenabled". Any ideas
what this means?
Here Alans answer:
The HSZ50 limits I/O requests to 64 KB. Recent versions of tar
try to use something larger. So, the operating system generates
an illegal transfer size on tar's behalf. If you use an explicit
transfer size on the tar command that should fix the problem.
Whenever a drive is hot-swapped the HSZ notices it and arranges
to print the message you see. It will continue to print until
you clear with "CLEAR CLI".
Again,
thank you very much.
