3736.0. "TLZ07, VMS 5.5-2 "dies"" by SCOVAX::BARBER () Fri Apr 25 1997 23:31

     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 STOAGE notes)

    How does it fail? Does BACKUP produce an error message? Does it happen
    with certain save sets only?
