connecting a DDS-4 on a L1000

[Carlos Alvarado F]

Dear Sirs :
I??m trying to connect a DDS-4 tape on a HP-UX L1000 server.
The current release is 11.00.
When I run ioscan -fn I have the following response :
unknown -1 0/0/2/1.4.0 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN HP C1537A
What??s happening here?
Is a problem with the current server??s FirmWare? or I need some special driver?

Help me please

Thank you very much in advance


Best Regards

Include the "stape" driver into the kernel and install at least driver patch PHKL_26784, which is superseded by PHKL_28216.

please add the spt or sctl and schgr driver to the kernel, that should help.

Hi
check if the stape driver is unable .

this is the driver that the DDS4 need to work.

go to sam - kernel driver and check the status of the tape .

Hi,

An easy way to solve this is start SAM, Peripheral Devices, Tape Drives

Actions menu, select diagnose missing tape Drive.

You need to reboot to activate the new kernel.

Hi to all!
About my previous question,I wish to puntualize the following:
- The problem that I have was be related to a DDS-3 tape.
This unit actually works OK thanks to your valuable help.
Now I'm trying to connect a DDS-4 tape (DAT40i) to my L1000 but the device is not recognized at low-level (pdc) and therefore not recognized by the O.S. (I got no response from ioscan -funC tape)
The current F/W level is 41.39

I need your help again

Thank You very much

Best Regards
