What I would like to know is about a single DLT drive. Can such a tape drive with the single ended interface be seen by a netapp?
As long as the DLT identifies itself as a quantum dltxxxx in its scsi identifier then there shouldn't be any problems. I believe that some vendors fiddle with the bios in which case you'd need to upgrade to 5.x for its tape fudgeing facilities. In our case the the overland manual said that the identifier was an overland one and told us how we could very easily set the unit up to change the identifier. However none of this was needed as the netapp booted up and correctly identified the drive as a DLT7000 just fine.
Hope that helps.
