Full Discussion: DLT 7000 tape drive failing with "write error on a record in the index"
Operating Systems HP-UX DLT 7000 tape drive failing with "write error on a record in the index" Post 302589810 by methyl on Thursday 12th of January 2012 04:36:09 PM

I see that you have already posted on the HP ITRC, which would have been my advice.

The general consensus in this old ITRC post is that the K Class server can handle two DLT4000 drives daily-chained, but if you have a DLT7000 it must not be daisy-chained. Whilst not an exact match to your problem it should give some clues.

Have you checked for end-of-life on your Server and its system software?

DYOR and caveat emptor.

tcopy

tcopy(1)							   User Commands							  tcopy(1)

NAME

       tcopy - copy a magnetic tape

SYNOPSIS

       tcopy source [destination]

DESCRIPTION

       The  tcopy  utility copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive specified by the source argument. The only assumption made about the
       contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.

       When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and displays information about the sizes of records and tape files.  If a des-
       tination  is  specified,  tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy pro-
       duces the same output as it does when only scanning a tape.

       The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names. For example,

       example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b
