DLT8000 & Make_recovery

[Darren Murray_1]

I have a DLT 8000 connected to a bunch of L-Class servers. Are you able to tell me if I can do make_tape_recovery's to this type of DLT Tape drive.

Darren,

Yes you can, but first make sure you have the latest version of ignite:

And if you aren't too comfortable with my answer go search on docs.hp.com for your OS 11.00 or 11i (11.11).

YO, TIMEOUT!

What do you mean you have a DLT8000 attached to a BUNCH OF L-class SERVERS?

HOW is it attached to these "BUNCH" of L-class SERVERS??

Hi Darren,

It should but it depends on the interface that is being used.

See these:

http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/docs/release_note_B.3.5.html

See this information from an ignite newsletter:

Have you daisy-chained these or stand-alone? If stand-alone, should be no problem.

Cheers
Michael

Sorry, I should have said I have a L-Class with a DLT8000 attatched.

There are 3 L-Class servers in a MC/Service Guard environment.

The newsletter link I gave before states that it will work from a FWD interface. If your using the narrow-SE SCSI it won't work, but if your using the ultra-2 or a A4800A should be no problem.
