How to boot from Compaq DLT VS 40/80?

[Hein van der Wielen]

Hi there,

We have several Compaq DLT VS 40/80 tape drives. For testing purposes we want to use One Button Disaster Recovery (this is called Intelligent One Button Disaster Recovery under Veritas).

I can't find any instructions how to put the unit in "boot" mode, so we can boot from the tape. With other models we had to push eject when booting the unit but since it has the Compaq tag (instead of HP) I can't find anything in the manual or in a FAQ etc.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance! Kind regards,
