The application does not recognize the tape drive
The SCSI bus is not terminated correctly.
• Check that the SCSI cable from the tape array
is firmly connected to the SCSI connector in the
computer.
• If there are other devices in the SCSI bus, make
sure that each device has a unique ID. Use HP
Library & Tape Tools to find details of the
devices on the bus.
• If there is more than one SCSI bus attached to
your system, check that the system is looking for
the drive on the correct SCSI bus.
•Make sure that the bus is terminated correctly.
If the array is the only device or the last device
on the bus, it must have a terminator fitted. If
some other device is last on the bus, it should
have a terminator fitted and the tape array
should not.
There is a fault with the host system.
•Make sure that the system is configured to
recognize the correct device at each SCSI ID.
• Ensure that the correct driver for the tape drive
is installed. Look at the SCSI host adapter
documentation and backup software
documentation for further advice.
