For all that are suffering with the same issues: Here is what we did in order to use a Dell Poweredge R720 with a PERC H710 mini (rev D1) and a Overland Neo 400s Tapelibrary. The Raid Controllers from Dell are not suitable to use Tape Libraries with the default firmware it is shipped with. In...

Hi there, so this is what i got here... root@srv-backup-1:~# pmt format --drive neos-drive using device /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-HU1140JVN4-sg root@srv-backup-1:~# pmt rewind --drive neos-drive using device /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-HU1140JVN4-sg root@srv-backup-1:~# proxmox-tape scan --drive...

So with the newest official firmware from the overland FTP still no success, same behavior for the drive I tried once again, flashing manually without the web interface, but this firmware, potentially a bit newer gets rejected as well. Any ideas for bios/hardware settings? Like is there...

I just discovered a different driver for the lto-5 drive from hp on the overland FTP server. I flash a new firmware and hope that this will solve the problem for now. (no big hopes, its uploaded 2014, still 2 years newer but meeh..)

Hi there, here is what i got so far: root@srv-backup-1:~# proxmox-tape label --label-text "ABR401L5" --drive neos-drive --output-format=text --pool neos-pool TASK ERROR: media read error - read failed - do_scsi_pt failed with err EINVAL: Invalid argument I dug a bit deeper to find our more...

Ofcourse, here is the output with the erased tape loaded to the drive: { "alert-flags": "(empty)", "block-number": 0, "blocksize": 0, "buffer-mode": 1, "bytes-read": 239127756800, "bytes-written": 24059665448960, "compression": true, "density": "LTO5", "file-number": 0...

Hi there, so after cleaning the drive via the administration hw panel, i erased a tape with fast=false. But i still cant label the tape. Same error as before. I provide the .lzt file from the hp-ltt tool https://cloud.sund-xplosion.de/index.php/s/g4zTpmKsep4AN8s password:

Thanks for your suggestions, i will try it today after lunch. I further digged into tape error codes and library event codes and found some errors suggesting a drive clean. which was not mentioned anywhere else on the library interface but I give it a go as well. 22.01.05 16:00:05.80 Event -...

I checked back for the pmt erase: ended like this: root@srv-backup-1:~# pmt erase --drive neos-drive --fast=false --device /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-HU1140JVN4-sg using device /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-HU1140JVN4-sg Error: erase failed - Illegal Request, Additional sense: Invalid command operation code...

Some Ideas of Security measurements (mostly going further than what you asked for) The whole Infrastructure is behind OPNSense HA gateways, they run VPN and guest proxy/ reverse proxy. Servers use apt proxy, maybe your own mirror but this is mostly overkill for security reasons. DNSSEC is also...

I am able to execute other things just fine with the drive. For Example: pmt cartridge-memory cleanly reads the tapes memory #pmt erase --drive neos-drive --fast=false erases the tape as expected. I checked this by checking the state of the tape library web interface. Drive Status says...

Okey so the firmware of both drive and library are already latest, Im currently upgrading once again to make sure that everything is on the right firmware revision. Thanks to overland, seems that they know about the bad situation with hp drives...

Okey i managed to get my hands on some firmware version that are a bit more latest. currently trying the firmware upgrade manually over pg_write_puffer, hope this thing will survive this attempt

I managed to install the hp_ltt software with some tweaks to their proprietary rpm RHEL/Linux package. The tool says that the firmware description cant be read, but also reports that there are no errors with the drive whatsoever. Because library and drive where used before by another company, i...

Hi the media do not contain encrypted data, I sadly got no new media at hand right now. I checked to upgrade the drive firmware, but sadly hp only offers a .exe I search a way to get around this right now. At first I try to get some non paywalled .exe to extract the firmware of. (easy) then I...

Hi there, I am currently trying to label the media of our tape library, but I'm getting a Task Error 2022-01-04T19:08:13+01:00: TASK ERROR: media read error - read failed - do_scsi_pt failed with err EINVAL: Invalid argument I think it is related to the hardware we use: The Overland NEO 400s...
