Re: tape drive on tru64 5.1

I have read this thread so far, and was about to recommend looking into the mcicap file. Anyway here is mine for a kind of comparison.

We have 2 ESL9198 libraries (mc0 and mc1) with 7 drives in each so this give you an idea of the layout/format of the file.


==/etc/mcicap===========
mc0|cob:\
:mc=/dev/changer/mc0:\
:dn=tape0,tape1,tape2,tape3,tape4,tape5,tape6:tc=ESL9198:

mc1|d5:\
:mc=/dev/changer/mc1:\
:dn=tape10,tape11,tape12,tape13,tape14,tape15,tape16:tc=ESL9198:

# Digital ESL9198 DLT Automated Tape Library
ESL9198|Digital ESL9198:\
:it=scsi2:dt=tape:bc:vt:is:pa:pe:re:rs:ae:

Good Luck

Re: tape drive on tru64 5.1

Hi,

just to update.

1. I have updated all the patches

2. I have updated all the firmware

3. Supplier says you can't disconnect the changer.

No change in what is being seen by hwmgr.

Any ideas who I can contact at hpux to find out how to solve this ?

Thanks,

Julie

Hi Julie,

did you ever resolve this issue?

I am having a similar problem with a Tandberg DLT autoloader and any help would be much appreciated.
cheers
