The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SAP BRBACKUP: mt: unable to initialize ASPI manager

Asked by tezza80 in SAP ERP, Oracle 9.x, Storage Technology

Hi... we have installed new SAP blade server and IBM TS3100 Express tape library to internal fibre switch on IBM blade chassis and used zoning to connect tape library to server. I tested the tape library by just running a windows backup and restore. This was succesful. A backup was then attempted of the Oracle database using BRBACKUP but the following error message appears:

mt: unable to initialize ASPI manager
mt: using NT tape support
mt: opening ' /dev/mt0' :No media in drive

Our SAP Basis guy sent me the following possible solution:

The output contains at least the following lines (if no errors occurred) by default:

        mt: unable to initialize ASPI manager
        mt: using NT tape support

The displayed message is no reason for concern. MT expects an ASPI Manager (Advanced SCSI Programming Interface). However, this is not required for operation on Windows, nor does it have to be installed. MT provides a restricted set of commands which is all you need for the backup.
If this type of error message occurs, check that the ASPI manager is installed, and deinstall it if this is the case.
For more information on the ASPI manager, see http://www.adaptec.com/techsupp/.

I've been searching the net but cannot find a tool that will either uninstall or inform me of any ASPI layer that may be installed on "Windows 2003 server 64-bit". Everything related to ASPI layer is usually for Win 98,XP, or 2000.

any help on this will be appreciated.
