Global description<\/strong><\/p>\n

After virtualisation of a 2003 SBS server we have the following error on the tape backup
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Het apparaat heeft een fout gerapporteerd bij deze aanvraag: gegevens naar medium schrijven. Fout: Ongeldige opdracht. er is mogelijk een hardware- of mediumprobleem opgetreden. Controleer het logbestand voor systeemgebeurtenissen voor relevante fouten.<\/p>\n

This is the dutch error for the following English error<\/p>\n

Error: The device reported an error on a request to write data to media.
\nError reported: Invalid command.
\nThere may be a hardware or media problem.
\nPlease check the system event log for relevant failures.
\n\"\"
\nThis error is popup as soon as the tape is being written.<\/p>\n

The backup log looks like something like this<\/p>\n

========================================================
\nError: The device reported an error on a request to write data to media.
\nError reported: Invalid command.
\nThere may be a hardware or media problem.
\nPlease check the system event log for relevant failures.
\nThe operation was ended.<\/p>\n

Error: C: is not a valid drive, or you do not have access.<\/p>\n

The operation was ended.<\/p>\n

———————-<\/p>\n

The operation did not successfully complete.<\/p>\n

———————-
\n=========================================================<\/p>\n

How did we narrow down this problem?<\/p>\n

First we created a virtual XP machine and attach the tapedive to this machine
\nThis test results in a working tapebackup. So we where 100% sure that this problem was not related to the device, or the tape<\/p>\n

Then we re attach the tapedevice back to the 2003 server, and the problem was returning<\/p>\n

Somehow the disc can\u2019t be accessed when the tapedevice is starting<\/p>\n

How did we solve this problem?<\/p>\n

We created a extra scsi adapter in the ESXI environment. First we could not find a way to insert a extra scsi adapter, but after some search we find out to simply select device (1:0) on the tapedevice, and a 2e scsi adapter will appear on the ESXI config.
\nI changed the device to a buslogic parallel, so i would still know the difference between the virtual scsi controller for the discs, and for the tapedevice
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

After this change the problem was solved.<\/p>\n
