TSZ07 can't write since 5.1a upgrade

From: McCracken, Denise (Denise.McCracken@misyshealthcare.com)
Date: Mon Nov 22 2004 - 11:54:25 EST


        We have a site that was just upgraded to Tru64 5.1a from 4.0f with a
fresh start install, and now they can't write to their TSZ07 tape drive. No
problem reading from tapes that were previously created. HW support has
done a self-test on the drive and it is OK. I see nothing with the drr
entry.

        I have tried device /dev/ntape/tape1, tape1c, tape1_d0 and tape1_d1
with no luck. It is blowing an error ILLEGAL REQUEST - Illegal request or
CDB parameter. I will list the whole error. Would appreciate any advice.

thanks
