Hi Guys,
Can I check if anyone know if a DDS4 tape drive can be connected to a L2000 server.

It can either be installed internally or connected external to the built-in connector or any LVD SCSI card.

Hi,

it was already mentioned it's supported.
Anyway I suppose you have a recent HP-UX version with a patched stape driver.
Once checked that you can connect DDS4.

HTH.

Both DDS4 & DAT72 can be connected in L3000 server.Once connected the drive,we need to add stape driver in Kernel.
