DLT drives

[Dottie Hamilton]

I am doing a system migration and the current system has a SureStor40 DLT drive (it is a D class server). I will moving its application to a N class server and also wanted to move the DLT drive (this server currently has 2 DLT drives).
Dose anyone know of a problem doing this?

thanks

As long as you change the SCSI id so you don't have duplicates, then you will be fine!

Hi,

You may have to get the proper cable for connecting it to the N class. Also take care about the terminators and the SCSI ids.

Hi Dottie:

If your 4/40 is attached to a D-box I'm sure it is using the HVD SCSI interface which is not compatible with the LVD SCSI interfaces standard in N-boxes. You have two choices, you can replace the 4/40 HVD interface with an LVD version or (and probably easier) get an HVD SCSI controller for your N-box (A4800A - single port or A5159A dual port). Do not connect it without doing this.
