Hi all, We have one tape drive DDS3 attached with our AW51E. Recently I have found that tape drive is not working. I changed the drive with a new tape drive and rebooted the AW but the problem is same. I checked the power and SCSI cable connections and found them o.k. The Tape drive hard ID is 5. The tape drive is visible by running probe-scsi-all command at ok prompt. I checked /dev directory for rst5 and rst9 both of them are there. I run the command 'add_periphs' in VT100, the command executed successfully but when I try to tar some files in the tape using tar cvf /dev/rst9 /opt/menus/d1/* it returns the following message tar: /dev/rst9: No such device or address Is this a software problem? If any one have the idea, kindly advise. Rgds, Ali Ahmed Zahidi Pakistan Refinery Ltd. _________________________________________________________________ Don't just search. Find.
