Tape Drive and Connectivity Troubleshooting
Symptom
Problem
Solution
The server or
workstation does not
recognize your DLT
VS160 tape drive.
The tape drive’s SCSI ID
might not be unique.
Check the SCSI IDs on all the other SCSI devices on
the selected server, including the SCSI host adapter,
and select an unused SCSI ID for your tape drive.
Note:
If you attach the tape drive to a narrow
(50-pin) bus, you can only use SCSI IDs 0
through 7; otherwise you can use 0 through 15.
The SCSI host adapter might
be incorrectly configured.
Check the SCSI host adapter configuration. Refer to
the SCSI host adapter manual for instructions.
The SCSI cable might be
loose.
Check both ends of the SCSI cable to see if the cable
is well-seated.
The SCSI terminator might
be loose or missing.
Make sure an active LVD/SE terminator is properly
seated on the back of the tape drive.
Make sure an active LVD/SE terminator is in place
on the SCSI ribbon cable for the internal tape drive.
Note
: If the tape drive is
not
the last or only device
on the SCSI bus, make sure the last device on the
SCSI bus is properly terminated
and
is powered on
whenever you use your DLT VS160 tape drive.
