I installed a new DDS3 tape drive this morning and need to ask if there is anything else that I need to do. After connecting the tape drive to the server I did an ioscan -fnC tape and see that the tape is there. Here is the information.

Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
=====================================================================
tape 4 0/0/1/0.2.0 stape CLAIMED DEVICE HP C1537A

What do I need to do before I can use the tape drive?

Thanks for the help.

Can someone tell me how to read files from this tape drive? Not to restore but to copy files store on tape. What program or utilities should I use. Window operating system.
