Tape Server can't locate the device

I replaced a 15/30-GB DDT Drive by a 20/40-GB DDT Drive and updated the ArcServIT6.6 with the SP4. Now, when starting up the tape server, I get an error message that there is no Tape Device found, what seems to me rather strange, because after the tape server log file, it first recognizes the right device. I added the important part of the Log file at the end of the message.
Any idea what could be wrong?

many thanks

Re: Tape Server can't locate the device

Update the System ROM on the Server you're using . Also update the SCSI device drivers from the latest NSSD .
