Re: DLT8000 which command to check tape status?
If your using telnet to a HPUX box you
can use the 'mt ' command to at least
manipulate the tape. You must be 'root'
do this. You also need to know the
device name for the tape drive.
To get the device
# /usr/sbin/ioscan -fnkC tape
To exercise the tape (assuming a tape is loaded)
# /usr/bin/mt -t /dev/rmt/1m rew
Or you could use the 'mstm' command to talk
direct to the drive.

Re: DLT8000 which command to check tape status?
kernel recognises that there is a tape drive
on the system.
Try running the ioscan again, this time doing
this:
# /usr/sbin/ioscan -fn
(and look for the same entry for the tape drive)
The output of the 'mt' command indicates that
there is either no tape in the drive or the
drive is off line. Re-insert the tape and try
again, and post the results.

Re: DLT8000 which command to check tape status?
It seems that the drive has been connected to a different SCSI bus now.
Do an insf -e to install the drivers.
Then do ioscan -fnkC tape to check whether they are installed or not.
Then try with the mt command again.
HTH,
Vince

Re: DLT8000 which command to check tape status?
For your path find the device file
tape 8 0/1/2/0.6.0 stape CLAIMED DEVICE QUANTUM DLT8000
Use #ioscan -fnH 0/1
Then with the device file use
#mt -t /dev/rmt/XXm status ::-to check status of tape drive.
You can alos look foe device files in /dev/rmt/ directory.
Thanks.
