I have problems installing my Wangtek SCSI Tape under Interactive Unix 2.2. The Tape works all right with SCO UNIX 3.2.2 and the supplied Sytos DOS Software. ISC reports "2 SCSI DRIVES FOUND" during power-up. There is only one SCSI- harddisk connected to the Adaptec 1542. Changing the SCSI-ID of the tape doesn't have any effect. Can anybody help me?

The driver SHOULD report 2 drives found -- one disk and one tape. The device nodes should be /dev/ct c 41 8 ; rewind-on-close /dev/nrct c 41 0 ; no-rewind-on-close The driver does no buffering, so use the -C option on cpio (make sure the number you specify, when multiplied by 10, is a multiple of 512 and less than 384 KB) or pipe things through 'dd' using a big buffer for the tape (I use something like 'cpio -oBcv | dd ibs=5120 obs=320k of=/dev/ct'). Let me know if you still have problems, DLP

The 3 common issues which casue problemw with SCSI tapes: Incorrect major/minor device numbers (see section on HPDD in the Maintenance Procedures section of the Operating System Guide). Incorrect LUN (logical unit number). This seems to work best if LUN > 3. Incorrect DMA channel. Verify that the hardware DMA (should be 5 or 6) matches the value in software. This value is stored in /etc/conf/cf.d/mdevice on the line that begins with "TAPE" in the far left column. The value is in the far right column. This value sometimes is delivered as "-1". If it is incorrect, set it to match hardware and rebuild the kernel. .... support

When you have 1 scsi hard disk and 1 scsi tape connected to the host adapter, the kernel SHOULD report 2 scsi drives found. This is perfectly OK. >Can anybody help me? Doesn't sound like you need much. Go into kconfig and check the configuration of the high performance disk driver. Make sure that the tape is configured. If it isn't, select the proper tape drive, rebuild the kernel and reboot. I have pretty much the same setup; ISC 2.2, Adaptec 1542, CDC Wren 1.2GB scsi hard drive, Wangtek 5150ES tape. Works like a champ. I'd even be willing to bet that my configuration is stranger than most because my Adaptec is my secondary controller. I have a Western Digital WD1007 ESDI as my primary. I have root, swap, and /usr on a 380MB Micropolis ESDI drive. All of my real work, usenet spool area, and X source code is on the SCSI drive. No, I still don't have enough disk space.
