To prevent software failures, make sure the software is properly functioning:
■
The tape drive passes the Compaq Diagnostics Utility (Intel-based
computers only) test.
■
The controller has been configured using the Compaq System
Configuration Utility (Intel-based computers only.)
■
The adapter has been configured using the SRM console or AlphaBios
(AlphaServers only.)
■
The correct software drivers are being used. (Make sure that the
operating system driver for the tape drive matches the drive type.)
■
The version of the tape drive software supports the tape hardware you
are using.
If the software problems meet the above conditions, try reinstalling the tape
drive software.
