multitudes:
> 
> Hello fello backup folk,
> 
> I am having trouble initializing my DLT7000 Scalar
> 
> I have attached to one of my ultra Solaris 7
> machines; the machine "faith" is a client to my NB
> 
> server "tapeworm".  Everything was working fine,
> then I started receiving the error messages below.
> 
> No changes were made to the system, this just
> started happening? So far I have attempted the
> following:
> 
> 1.  Removed the drive and robot from net-backup
> and re-added them both
> 2.  used robtest (tldtest)
> 3.  ran diagnostics on the Scalar
> 4.  stopped all netbackup daemons (server/client)
> 5.  ran sgscan:
> [root:faith:~ ] sgscan
> /dev/sg/c1t5l0: Tape (/dev/rmt/0): "QUANTUM
> DLT7000"
> /dev/sg/c1t6l0: Changer: "ADIC    Scalar DLT 448"
> 
> 6. rebooted the machine and the NB server.
> 
> 7. analyzed /var/log/messages for additional clues
