Folks,
I've been trying to get an F740 filer to recognize a dlt for several weeks. The error it returns is below. This same error also happens on another filer, also a 740. DLT checks out ok, according to the StorageTek tech's dignostics box.
Have tried swapping cables, and using different dlt's -- _always_ this "unrecognized error". The filer has been rebooted many times during this process. mt fsf, bsf, weof, &c all work ok, according to mt status, but all tape writes fail.
