by I am trying to connect a Python 4mm DAT tape backup to a Sparcstation 20
and it doesn't seem to be working. The system sees the drive when it boots
up:
Sep 7 10:43:01 tasmania unix: st5: <Archive Python 4mm Helical Scan>
Sep 7 10:43:01 tasmania unix: st5 at esp0: target 5 lun 0
and I've done a boot -r. The tape ends up being pointed to by /dev/rmt/1,
but when I try issuing a command to the drive such as:
mt -f /dev/rmt/1 rewind
It always comes up with:
/dev/rmt/1: no tape loaded or drive offline
There is a tape in it, and it is powered up. Does anyone have a clue as to
what is wrong? I'd RTFM, but I don't have a documentation set.
