Hi Gary

I did as you suggested and commented out the entries in the
/kernel/drv/st.conf file and now when I boot -r, I see just the 0 and 1 IBM
entries that I wanted, so that's great news, many thanks.

Now I just hope that it solves my strange little 'unable to write to
filling tapes' problem.

All the best

Farren

Sir:

Are you ussing the same exact drives and libraries afor v2.9 as v2.7?

As to your other question regarding st:

Do you have a tape device other than the 3590 attached to the v2.9 server?
If not, simply comment out all the scsi ids in the st.conf file.
This will not let st grab a tape device.
