Looks like DLT 4500's are not supported, or at least not by 4.3.4 on F630's. sysconfig -t says "non-qualified tape drive," and one gets no tape devices.
Anyone had any experience to the contrary? I plan to call 888-4-NETAPP and make nice in the morning, but I wanted to find out if anyone has had other experiences, say with later revs of the OS.
I'd rather not run permanently with a non-supported library, even if NAC has a back-door patch for it. I think I need to bite the bullet and buy a real tape drive. But this 4500 (which we found in the tomb of Ramses II, believe it or not) would be a nice stopgap if that were possible.
Thanks, y'all.
