I have about a 4 year old TL-4000 and LTO6 Drive 3 is getting very problematic, wanting cleaning a lot and generating a significant amount of errors and failed jobs. So bad in fact I have disabled the drive to maintain my sanity. I don't see any errors in the log though, only 78 hard write errors but a lot of soft write errors 34,000+
Also recently the library is "losing" labels, so a tape will suddenly read as LTO000008 in Backup Exec instead of what I had given it.
Lastly the library has crashed hard about 4 times over the past few months with this error: 00 > HE: Sdci microcode error
Any idea what that is?
The bios has been updated and drives as well to the latest. E.30 / 3.20e , G9P1
