SSL1016 Detected as Standalone

[Andy Goodwin_1]

Hi,

Having clean installed Win2003 SP1 my SSL1016 is showing as standalone. It was working fine previously under 2000 SP4. I have run the tape tools and they only show the drive. I have tried changing the scsi card drivers and reloading 2000 back again but still can only see the drive not the autoloader.
I have just tried changing the scsi id's for drive and changer but this didn't make any difference either.
Does anyone have any idea's?
thanks
Andy

Andy,

Which drive type do you have?

The DLT1 and the SDLT 320 products use a (non-zero) SCSI LUN for the autoloader. The 1016 Ultrum 460 is the only one that uses a separate SCSI ID.

Does your HBA support (and have enabled) LUNs? Sometimes LUN support is disabled to speed up scanning for devices.

If the card has a BIOS, does it banner both the drive and autoloader at boot?

Hi
Thanks for the quick reply.

Its the Ultrium 460. I read elsewhere about LUNS and wasn't sure so I tried turning them on for all id's. It didn't make a difference. I haven't tried turning them off again though.

The card is an adaptec 29160LP.

I have read some earlier posts about other autoloaders and reading your point I had a look the adaptec bios doesn't show the autoloader on boot, just the drive.

thanks

Andy
