Orig Question
I have SunOS 4.1.3 & SunOS 4.1.4
I have an HP tape drive.(Product C1533A)
I have hooked up this tape drive on the sun workstation at sci-id 4
When i do probe-scsi the machine sees the tape drive.
When i boot it up and do mt -f /dev/rst0 rew, i get the followin.
st0: Generic Drive, Vendor=<HP >
Unknown type- assuming 0.25 inch catridge
Variable record lenght I/O
/dev/rst0: no tape loaded or drive offline.
There is a tape in the drive. This message comes even after a while.
everytime it comes up with the same error message, that tape is offline
& not loaded.
What seems to be the problem
How do i make the HP tape drive work with the Sun workstation .
Thanks Will summarize.
