by I've been having trouble reading tapes on my system that have been
made on other Wangtek 5525 drives. When running Unixware, there were no
problems reading the other systems tapes, so I know that the hardware is ok.
Now, on Solaris x86 2.6, I can't even read tapes made on another
Solaris x86 2.6 system. The error is :
Error for Command: read Error Level: Fatal
Requested Block: 0 Error Block: 0
Vendor: WANGTEK Serial Number:
Sense Key: No Additional Sense
ASC: 0x0 (no additional sense info), ASCQ: 0x0, FRU: 0x0
Incorrect Length Indicator Set
I'm trying to use 'cpio -ictB -I /dev/rmt/1h' with DC6525 tapes,
but different blocking factors, and different device nodes produce the
same thing. I've also tried tar and dd. Also, DC150 tapes on /dev/rmt/1l.
Agghh.

Any ideas ??
