problems connecting SDLT tape unit

Alan Casey — Tue, 03 Jan 2006 04:38:42 GMT

HP A500 running HP-UX 11i
Compaq SDLT 110/220 tape unit with LVD/SE SCSI adaptor.

I have connected this tape unit up to the core i/o (Narrow SE SCSI) and terminated it.

ioscan still doesnt show the hardware.
If I connect other hardware (dvd DLT etc) to the adaptor on the A500 they are picked up no problem.
I have tried lots of different SCSI ID's on the SDLT to try and get it to work but no luck.
Any ideas?

warehse1(root)/> ioscan -fnH 0/0/2/0

Also getting SCSI errors in the syslog with the SDLT connected:
