SAM Internal Error for DLT tape drive

[Warren griggs]

Hi,

I am trying to add a backup via sam and when I choose the local backup device I get this error...
"SAM Internal Error
The error handler has gotten the error code 1 of type NOTE with the associated strings:
10/0.3.0
QUANTUM DLT8000"

I can still write and read a tape after this but I was wondering why this is happening.

Do I need a driver or something?

Thanks,

Colin.

Colin,
The problem may be that the DLT8000 is not listed in /usr/sam/lib/C/pd_devinfo.tx. Adding the following 2 lines to the file should fix your issue.

TAPE:::stape::::.DLT8000.*::::::QuantumDLT8000 Tape Drive::::::::::::BR,DLT

TAPE:::tape2::::.*DLT8000.*::::::Quantum DLT8000 Tape Drive::::::::::::BR,DLT
