What specific DLT drive do you have?

[Ayman Altounji]

The DLT drive is a 35/70 and its attached to a dl380 and I also have another server 1850r that is using the same type of DLT drive expiencing the same problem.

I had same problem. Fix was to uninstall the compaq scsi drivers (cpq32fs2), uninstall tape driver, then reinstall in the reverse order, ie tape driver then compaq scsi driver.

Thanks for the bit of info but I have a question for you? Was that fix on a DL380 system or a 1850r system. The reason for the ? There are different motherboard architectures. A fix may work on one type of system but not on the other? Can you give me more info?

That fix was for the 1850R and it is attached to a TL891 Library. Good Luck!
