Hi sdn,

HP provides information on system and tape drive compatibility on its website at www.hp.com/go/connect. The compatibility information for your system (DL385) and tape drive (DAT 72) is found here at:

http://www.hp.com/products1/storage/compatibility/tapebackup/ISS/Detail/16-0015-0063.html

This page shows that the minimum version of Solaris supported for this server and tape drive combination is version 8. It seems your problem is that your version of Solaris is too old.

error: Solaris 10 1/06 not Solaris 6/01
by mistake
I install terminator, but not working
I need disable channel on the raid where install tape drive.
How disable raid on channel ?

[Lewis Finch]

You should not have the drive connected to a RAID controller. A separate SCSI controller is recommended

This mean i want buy new scsi card ?

You can donnect a hot plug tape drive in a dl380 the recomented slot is ID 5 top left when looking from the front There should be no termination as the backplane does the termination
