Re: Alpha server DS25 : device name for SCSI DAT device ?
Tape devices start with letter "M" . Give command $SHO DEV M or $SHO DEV MK . It will list tape devices. If you are not able to find out. Post the result of above commands.
Thanks & regards,

berlioz,
If you do a SHOW DEVICE, you'll see all the devices known to VMS. Look for something starting with an M (probably the tape is an MK device (SCSI tape unit)).

Re: Alpha server DS25 : device name for SCSI DAT device ?
The MBA devices are mailboxes. I'm not sure what the MP device is.
Is the tape unit well connected?
Is it visible at the console prompt? (You know the >>>)
Maybe your tape unit's SCSI-id conflicts with another device.
Could you give the output of the SHOW DEVICE command at the console prompt?
Greetz,
Kris

Also check that all connectors are properly plugged in with the clips.

RAID controllers don't usually support tape drives.
