Hi,
We have recently upgraded from Data Protector 6.2 to 7.0.3.
I am having trouble reading SDLT tapes on SDLT drives (old technology). This was fine at 6.2 but now at 7.0.3 the tape read just hangs. It is not the tape as I have tried many tapes and it is not the drive as we have two SDLT tape drives and the issue is occuring on both of them.
I think I read somewhere that the tape hang does eventually time out after a large amount of seconds (an eight figure number of seconds?) but at the moment I am having to kill it from the unix prompt.
I believe this might be a known bug?
Any advice gratefully received.
Kind Regards - Mark P.
