2208.0. "%MOUNT-F-MEDOFL, medium is offline when remounting tape" by ALFSS2::STILL_G () Thu Apr 03 1997 17:16


	 I have a infoserver 1000 that has a tz85 tape drive
        VAX VMS is running 6.1 and the infoserver software is at
        version 3.4. After upgrading from 3.2 We started have the
        following issue. I did try appling cscpat_1128 to no avail.

	LADCP>bind/system/tape/perm/noassist tape_service
        %LADCP-I-BIND, service bound to logical unit MAD$INFOR_TAPE
        (_BRAVES$MAD27:
        LADCP>exit
        $init madXX: test
        $mount/noassist/foreign mad27:
        %MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, TEST mounted on _$1$MAD20: (BRAVES)
        $dismount MAD27:

        "I reload the tape "

        $ mount/noass/for MAD27:
        %MOUNT-F-MEDOFL, medium is offline

	The device is still online to the infoserver and VMS
	Sometime there is a left over connection and sometime there is not
	If I re-init the tape I can mount it.

	
	
	Thanks

2208.1I try to stay away from tape problems but...WAYLAY::GORDONResident Lightning DesignerThu Apr 03 1997 17:238
	Does the InfoServer drop the link after the DISMOUNT? (SHOW SESSIONS
on the InfoServer will tell you.)

	If you use DISMOUNT/UNLOAD (which shouldn't delete the MAD unit since
you used /PERM) does it work better?

I think I found the issue, before I applied cscpat_1128 
the error happened with both Bind/system/tape/perm and
Bind/system/tape/perm/noassist. After I applied the patch
I had tried Bind/system/tape/perm/noassist and was still failing
but since then I tried Bind/system/tape/perm and now it is working 
So 3.4 with cscpat_1128 applied and leaving the noassist off of the bind 
command has solved my issue.
