Hello,

is this a Compaq server?

I know there are problems with the standard NT SCSI adapter drivers and
DLT8000 drives. We observed this problems especially with Compaq servers
when the Compaq SCSI Controller drivers from the SSD was NOT used. The
standard NT SCSI drivers seem to have problems to communicate with DLT8000
drives, DLT4000 and DLT7000 worked fine though.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Met vriendelijke groeten,
With best regards,
Bien amicalement,

CU/2,
                Dirk Billerbeck

Knows anyone this problem with DLT8000 and TSM 4.1.3.0 under NT?

To label a tape works fine.
When TSM try to write data on the tape a undefined write error occurs
without any sense keys .
With the DLT7000 drives we have no problems.

Environment:

NT 4.0 SP5
TSM 4.1.3.0

Drive firmware:

STK DLT8000:        V43 and V51
Quantum DLT8000:    V20
