6628.0. "TLZ07, VMS 5.5-2 "dies"" by SCOVAX::BARBER () Fri Apr 25 1997 15:27

    Help!!
    	We have a customer with a VAX 4000-100 running VMS 5.5-2, has a TLZ07
    tape drive that will run backups, but when a listing of the tape isdone 
    afterwords it fails (at different points in the backup listing).
    
     	I don't have a copy of the errorlog yet, but here is a history:
    
    Tape drive cahnged 3 times
    
    4000 motherboard changed 
    
    latest tlz07 firmware, rev c loaded
    
    new tapes tried
    
    4 VMS patches have been applied:
    
    	VMSBACK05_U2055
    	VMSSYSL18_U2055
    	VAXDISM01_U2055
    	VAXSCSI03_061
    
    Bus has been shortened to only tlz07 on it.
    
    
    	This site was running for three years prior. Any help would be
    greatly appreciated. ( I will cross-post this in MAGTAPE notes)
