Hi,

Before using my tape changer, I would like to check the DLT
but i don't find good results. Is this me or my hardware is not good ?
How could I find simply that harware works ?
Here are the file devices 
/dev/sg0 et /dev/sg1

1st command :
mtx -f /dev/sg0 status
  Storage Changer /dev/sg0:1 Drives, 10 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 4 Loaded)
      Storage Element 1:Full 
      Storage Element 2:Full 
      Storage Element 3:Full 
      Storage Element 4:Empty
      Storage Element 5:Empty
      Storage Element 6:Empty
      Storage Element 7:Empty
      Storage Element 8:Empty
      Storage Element 9:Empty
      Storage Element 10:Empty

I have 3 bands. First storage element is recognized as drive. Is this right ?

2nd command:

mtx -f /dev/sg1 status
mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes
mtx: Request Sense: Valid Residual=no
mtx: Request Sense: Error Code=70 (Current)
mtx: Request Sense: Sense Key=Illegal Request
mtx: Request Sense: FileMark=no
mtx: Request Sense: EOM=no
mtx: Request Sense: ILI=no
mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Code = 20
mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Qualifier = 00
mtx: Request Sense: BPV=no
mtx: Request Sense: Error in CDB=no
mtx: Request Sense: SKSV=no
READ ELEMENT STATUS Command Failed

(is this normal ?)

Then when I try to load, unlod bands, I have :
(same with unload, load, first, etc..)

mtx -f /dev/sg0 next
Unloading Data Transfer Element into Storage Element 4...mtx: Request Sense: 
Long Report=yes
mtx: Request Sense: Valid Residual=no
mtx: Request Sense: Error Code=70 (Current)
mtx: Request Sense: Sense Key=Hardware Error
mtx: Request Sense: FileMark=no
mtx: Request Sense: EOM=no
mtx: Request Sense: ILI=no
mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Code = 44
mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Qualifier = 00
mtx: Request Sense: BPV=no
mtx: Request Sense: Error in CDB=no
mtx: Request Sense: SKSV=no
MOVE MEDIUM from Element Address 82 to 3 Failed

and if I try  mt -f /dev/sg0 offline
/dev/sg0: Permission denied

Thanks for the help. Bye
