DLT VS160 multiple listing in device manager
On some systems have noticed that within device manager and rsm, the drive can be listed 8, 16 or 32 times.
It is only on the DLT VS160, VS80 and ultrim drives are fine
anyone have any ideas
thanks

Re: DLT VS160 multiple listing in device manager
Check your terminator and make sure that your tape drive doesn't have SCSI ID 7 because that the SCSI ID of the HBA or any ID that its being used by another device on the same bus.
Need more information is the tape drive internal or external to the server ?
Is it daisy chain ?
What HBA are you using ?
What are the SCSI ID's ?

Re: DLT VS160 multiple listing in device manager
LSI Logic Ultra 320 (G3 and G4 servers)
Have this issue under windows 2000 + 2003
If we switch to an ultrium drive on the same HBA and SCSI ID we have no problems
but if replace with another VS160 we get the same problem

Re: DLT VS160 multiple listing in device manager
Mike Im sure this is a SCSI ID problem I need you to check if you SCSI controller has SCSI ID 7
Just for testing purposes you can try to use a different HBA maybe a smart array (make sure there is no HDD with same SCSI ID as the drive) so we can see what is the SCSI ID that the OS reads from the tape drive

Re: DLT VS160 multiple listing in device manager
we can delete all devices and reboot and problem will go away for a few weeks or more
we've even swapped drives and this fixes it for a while as well
this is what is confusing about it, and also causing problems trying to diagnose the fault - we've also been in touch with hp or say they've never heard of this problem
