you can put blank tape with DGXXXX(?) barcode into L700's internal

if library fails to mount/unmount diag tape then you have problem with
hardware.
But.. two tape drives at the same time with the same problem.. I don't think
so.
What kind of tape drives you've got? Are they on the same SCSI chain?
I've got a lot of problems with the STK/CrossRoads bridges.
That was old STK3200 or 4200 CrossRoads I believe.
My bridges was logging to fabric with different topology every time.
Be sure you've got the latest firmware.
The latest firmware level for DLT tape drives is 106.
I do beleive you need to have 34_2 to run it.
The latest firmware I heard from STK for L700 is 2.30, it could be
newer.
Thanks,
Andrew
