We zone them and they show up when I run "storage show tape". However, when we run a backup job via NetBackup, it is not writing anything. I ran backup status and I don't see anything. I know that NDMP is working because if in NetBackup I point the job to the other filer's tape drives, it runs.</P><P></P><P>I see these error messages:</P><P></P><P>scsi.cmd.pastTimeToLive</P><P>Tape device HQ2-blahblah: request failed after try #1: cdb 0x0a</P><P></P><P>tape.device.cmdAbort</P><P>Tape device HQ2-blahblah: command aborted by host, ha_status 0x4</P><P></P><P></P><P>Anyone knows what I am missing?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:04:49 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-Protection/FC-attached-tape-drive-not-writing/m-p/17204#M5730 DUANESTRYDER 2025-06-05T06:04:49Z Re: FC attached tape drive not writing https://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-Protection/FC-attached-tape-drive-not-writing/m-p/17210#M5731 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>ensure </P><P>options tape.reservations persistent </P><P></P><P>NetBackup does not support anything else</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 26 Jul 2013 22:30:23 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-Protection/FC-attached-tape-drive-not-writing/m-p/17210#M5731 magpiper2 2013-07-26T22:30:23Z
