We're currently looking for fast backup/archiving media to connect to our HP9000/370 running HP-UX 6.5. We came up with two alternatives: 1) Rewritable optical disk (random access, expensive) 2) Exabyte video tape (rather cheap, no random access) Our server has a HP98265A SCSI interface, as well as a high-speed HP-IB interface. I've read about the HP6300 model 650A rewritable optical disk and I assume I can hookup that one without much trouble (it's HP supported, right ?!?), but how about the Exabyte ????

HP SCSI is not a "full" implementation of SCSI. I've been reading here about some people having success with third party SCSI drives working on their HP's, we unfortunately were unable to get a Fuji drive (approx. 330 Meg) up and running on a 9000/370 running HP-UX 6.2. Furthermore, I understand that HP has even less support in their SCSI drivers for SCSI tape commands. Good Luck

Correct.

This is being discussed in another article in comp.sys.hp.
