    Agree about the NW version. If your Solaris is below solaris 9, you might need to upgrade to install NW 7.4.3

    Not enough space is usually triggered by block size problem. It seems as you are trying to read 128KB block, but something is blocking you.

    But on second look, it seems it fails to read label as well which is 32KB always which is really really strange. Unless that label has been wiped out by SCSI bus reset I would try to scan this on some other system/device to see if you get the same error.

    Dear Crvelin,

    Thanks, the last question are:
    - should i upgrade my networker from 7.3.2 to a higher version?
    - should i upgrade my solaris from Solaris to a higher version?

    Regards

    7.3.2 is not really nice version of NW. Besides, it is no longer supported for quite some time. 7.3.4 is, but only until March 2009. In 7.4.x corner current version is 7.4.3.2 (aka build 581). You could move to 7.3.4 for start.

    As for Solaris, I have no idea what version you have, but if it is supported I see no reason to move on (unless you would gain something from such move).

    my experience about networker 7.3.xx are backup performance issue, and we can fix by install new solaris and install new networker 7.3.1. but now it looks strange, is this caused by previous networker version or because hardware problem.

    i will start to upgrade networker version 7.3.4 then if not work i will reinstalling solaris, i hope this will work.

    Thanks so much for a nice discussion.
