I think that your emulation does't work well, Netapp use this data as tape configuration file for IBM Ultrium-2 (IBM_LTO2_ULTRIUM.TCF):
# Configuration file for tape drive IBM LTO Gen2 AKA ULTRIUM-TD2 # Rev. 1.0
vendor_id="IBM" product_id="ULTRIUM-TD2" id_match_size=11
vendor_pretty="IBM" product_pretty="ULTRIUM-TD2"
l_description="LTO-I tape only 100GB" l_density=0x40 l_algorithm=0x00
m_description="LTO-I tape 200GB cmp" m_density=0x40 m_algorithm=0x01
h_description="LTO-II tape only 200GB" h_density=0x42 h_algorithm=0x00
a_description="LTO-II tape 400GB cmp" a_density=0x42 a_algorithm=0x01 autoload="yes"
CDB 0x15 is SCSI-Mode Select Command, h_density=0x42 and h_algorithm are correct values for the original IBM tape, apparently not for your drive - you got an Illegal Request Error. Try to find out what your drive expect there - it should be described in the "scsci programmers guide" for your drive.
Good luck,
Rene

Hi All,
I installed a Library StorageTek L80 with one drive LTO2 Certance Ultrium 2 connected via SCSI LVD to Filer F840 with Ontap 6.4.3. This release does not support LTO 2 so I dynamically qualified a IBM Ultrium-TD2. Then I emulated Certance Ultrium 2 as IBM Ultrium-TD2 with success. But a error appears when I try to use LTO2 format (rst4a/h), wich is displayed but not recognized. Does someone suffer a similar issue? Thanks
