BUG #: 16157 (6.50)



SYMPTOMS
When you use the 154x series Adaptec SCSI adapter on Windows NT 4.0, dumping any database to tape may cause a handled access violation (AV). The access violation seems to occur more consistently on 4 mm DAT tape drives, but has also been seen on 8 mm DAT tape drives.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not dump to a tape device. Instead, dump and load to a different type of dump device, such as disk. If you dump to a disk but you wish to store the data on tape, you can use another backup package, such as Windows NT Backup, to archive the dump file to tape.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.50. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 2 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.



MORE INFORMATION
The 154x Adaptec SCSI adapter cards will dump the databases successfully in SQL Server 6.50 Service Pack 1 (build 6.50.213) running on Windows NT 3.51.

The Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 Backup utility to tape works correctly for either the 154x or 2940 SCSI adapter cards.
