Anyone got one of these going on a NetApp (a 630 running 5.2.1)??

Its supposed to be just the same as a Quantum 4700, but initial tests are failing to write on it. The same drive was previously in use successfully on some other system (not NetApp).

Do I need to hack the drive type ID - I thought all that was not needed with the latest releases. However 5.2.1 does not appear to be looking at the cloned_tapes in the same way as 5.1 (it didn't work right then either).

Using the diag stuff on the mt command, a dump gives the following output:-

DUMP: creating "/vol/web/.snapshot/snapshot_for_backup.2" snapshot. DUMP: Using Full Volume Dump DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Jan 27 17:54:18 1999. DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch.

All clues gratefully received :-)
