436.0. "24 mb, tape full, tz875,winnt4.3??" by DEKVC::DEUGKWANGLEE () Mon Feb 24 1997 03:32

    Hi, all.
    
    I'm MCS engineer in Korea and have a problem about NSR.
    
    My customer has a AS2100 and TZ875 tape drive for NSR backup.
    
    He used the tape under DUNIX well and decided to use the WINNT V4.0.
    
    All is ok except NSR backup.
    
    I installed Networker for WindowsNT V4.3 and configured.
    
    Labeled well and started with default pool, after 2-3 minutes,
    
    'tape1 full, use 24 mb of the total 10 gb' and showned as full.
    
    Backup without Networker(WindowsNT NATIVE) was ok.
    
    I found there was some drivers for tz875 in WindowsNT 3.51,
    
    but I couldn't find DECTAPE.ZIP in WindowsNT V4.0 anywhere.
    
    So I installed DECTAPE.ZIP(for WINnt 3.51), but same.
    
    Could anybody tell me why it happened?
    
    I applied no patches or service packs in this system.
    
    It was ok when use the TLZ7L tape driver.
    
    Thanks in advance, regards/dklee.

	The standard driver in NT 4.0 should be used, not a Digital driver patch for NT 3.51. Mark
436.2	try another...	DEKVC::DEUGKWANGLEE		`Mon Feb 24 1997 19:42`	7
	Thanks, but, how about some supplement drivers from LEGATO? I found dlttape.sys from LEGATO today and would like to test it. Regards/dklee.

	I would take Mark's advice and use the standard NT 4.0 driver. This is an Alpha NT product, running on an Alpha NT platform, with Alpha NT drivers, and the advice is coming from the former lead NetWorker for NT Alpha developer. Cabling is another possibility. How is the drive cabled to the system? Regards, Wes Ono NetWorker Engineering
436.4		DECWET::LENOX	Why is DECdirect so out of date?	`Tue Feb 25 1997 07:33`	3
	besides, the drivers from Legato are for Intel only, if Wes didn't make that really clear.
436.5	But it works weel on Winnt3.5	DEKVC::DEUGKWANGLEE		`Thu Feb 27 1997 19:45`	13
	One more, please. I installed Winnt 3.51(English editor) and Networker 4.3 yesterday. Added dectape.zip for tz875 and It worked well. Then, I really want to know is there should be any UPDATED or PATCHED driver files for TZ875 on Winnt 4.0(Hangul editor). Appreciate your reply if you have any idea. I will post it to windows-nt reference right now. Regards/dklee .
