Greetings, all.
 
I'm having a little trouble getting NB to play nice with my Exabyte
10e. I read the doc on installing, and made sure that the files in
/dev/sg and /dev/st were created, and the wizard seems to detect and
install them fine. However, when I attempt to inventory the 'bot, I get
202 errors. The troubleshooting manual wasn't a lot of help. 
 
I can use the /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/robtest utility to initialize the
'bot and move stuff around. Here's the command line and a few outputs:
 
[root@keane bin]# ./robtest
Configured robots with local control supporting test utilities:
  TL8(0)     robotic path = /dev/sg/h0c0t3l0
 
Robot Selection
---------------
  1)  TL8 0
  2)  none/quit
Enter choice: 1
 
Robot selected: TL8(0)   robotic path = /dev/sg/h0c0t3l0
 
Invoking robotic test utility:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tl8test -r /dev/sg/h0c0t3l0 -d1
/dev/st/nh0c0t4l0
 
Opening /dev/sg/h0c0t3l0
Enter tl8 commands (? returns help information)
init
Initiating INITIALIZE_ELEMENT_STATUS
INITIALIZE_ELEMENT_STATUS complete
 
m s5 d1
Initiating MOVE_MEDIUM from address 5 to 0
MOVE_MEDIUM complete
 
 
So, it appears that my server can communicate with the drive. Is there
something I should set on the 10e, maybe?
 
TIA,
 
-dd
