3757.0. "Can't read tape in TLZ09 from tape backup with TLZ07?" by ZPOVC::LAICHAN () Fri May 16 1997 15:22

    Hi,
    
    I've tried to restore a tape from TLZ09 to disk twice where the backup
    was done using TLZ07. For both cases, the error message was:
    
    "Tape device reported an error on a request to read from tape.
     Error reported:
     Hardware failure"
    
    The number of files restored was 161 files for the first time and 175
    files on the second attempt.
    
    I can do catalogue. 
    
    Is this a case of firmware update required or real tape drive error??
    
    Thanks
    
    Regards,
    Lee
