HP9000 E25 DDS-2 tape drive i/o error
Things I've already checked:
- The unit works OK. It was tested in another machine.
- The scsi bus is correctly configured and correctly terminated (I've tried active and passive termination, as suggested in another forum's message).
- ioscan detects the unit perfectly and attachs tape2 driver to the unit.
- Special device files are created OK.
I'm using HP-UX 11, with some patches applied regarding the tape2 driver (anyway, none of these patches apply for this particular problem, they're intended for DLT problems).
Any idea? Suggestions or comments will be much appreciated.
Regards

Re: HP9000 E25 DDS-2 tape drive i/o error
Could you pls post the statment ( tar / cpio etc ) and the message ? This will give us some more hints, what may be going on.
What about the blinking lights on the drive ?
Which status do they show ?

The leds are OK (green on when cartridge inserted, etc.) the scsi connectores were tested OK, and the drive unit was tested in another machine OK.
Thanks for any help you could provide me.
