Subject: [foxboro] Tape drive problem


Hi all,
We have one tape drive DDS3 attached with our AW51E. Recently I have foun=
d=20
that tape drive is not working. I changed the drive with a new tape drive=
=20
and rebooted the AW but the problem is same. I checked the power and SCSI=
=20
cable connections and found them o.k. The Tape drive hard ID is 5. The ta=
pe=20
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=20
command
'add_periphs' in VT100, the command executed successfully but when I try =
to=20
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.
