345.0. "Exabyte support in 7.1?" by CSC32::D_RESTIVO () Tue Mar 18 1997 13:20
Hello,
The cover letter for Openvms 7.1 states:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Problem with Exabyte EXB-8200 Tape Drives on OpenVMS VAX
Exabyte EXB-8200 tape drives will not work with OpenVMS VAX Version
7.1.
This unsupported SCSI-1 tape drive provided minimal functionality in
previous versions of the OpenVMS VAX operating system.
Enhancements made to the VAX SCSI device drivers for OpenVMS VAX
Version
7.1 to allow the use of a larger set of SCSI devices have introduced a
problem with Exabyte EXB-8200 tape drives. Tapes installed in this
drive
cannot be initialized, and tapes that have already been initialized
cannot be mounted or read.
� If you have an Exabyte EXB-8200 tape drive or another third-party
� SCSI-1 tape drive that is not working on your VAX system, please
� contact the customer support center for information about a possible
� modification that will correct this problem.
------------------------------------------------------------------
what modification are we (DEC) referring to? Software patch, jumper
settings? I'm working with a customer who has an Exabyte (Dialog)
tape drive, model SSSX, which is working under 6.1 but they're
concerned that it won't after they update to 7.1.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!!
