DLT7000

I have the fortunate task of implementing the ADSM in our company using
Quantum DLT7000 in a WinNT and Lotus environment. And right off the bat I
ran into trouble. The device configuration wizard accepted the entries
(DLT) that I made on the Manual Library Name, Device Class Name, Drive
Name, and Storage Pool Name. However I could only use the DLT tapes for
maximum of 1000MB. QUERY VOLUME displayed an information that the
DEVCLASS=dlt DEVTYPE=generictape DEVICE=\\.\Tape0 and
ESTCAPACITY=1000MB. The DLT tapes are capable of storing 35GB uncompress
and 70GB compress data.
I could successfully defined the DEVCLASS, DEVTYPE, FORMAT, LIBRARY using
the command line but not the DRIVE. An error msg "I/O error occured while
accessing DLT" was received when I entered the following command:
define drive dltlib dlt device=mt0.0.0.0 (dlt0 or mt1.0.0.0 or
other combinations)
There was no error msg when I changed the device=\\.\tape0 ( Device
configuration wizard detects DLT7000 as Tape0 ). However, back client
operation was terminated during testing giving an MOUNTING ERROR.
I would greatly appreciate assistance on this matter. Thank you.
