Jaye,
this should be in the toasters archive (see the following message from Brian Tao).
The utility that Dario mentioned is on Quantum's website, or you should be able to use scsi commands, as Brian suggests.

but they're not there anymore. I sent a copy of Dlttools.zip to netapp support, so they should have it, if you can't find it elsewhere.
A quick trip through Dejanews turned up the relevant info. The utility and documentation are at:
ftp://ftp.quantum.com/Utilities/DLT_Tools_4_8.exe http://support.quantum.com/appnotes/qt00004_.htm
It looks like there is enough information there that someone with a good knowledge of SCSI mode pages and an appropriate utility (like FreeBSD's scsi(8) command) should be able to modify the vendor ID from a UNIX box. -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@netcom.ca) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"
Uh, I'm not sure why Quantum would have anything to do with this problem at all...
Note I said the tape drive SCSI adapter, which was unclear, I meant the SCSI Card *in* the netapp that you hook the tape drives to.
The narrow interface on an F540.
The non-disk interface.
I want to change it from 7 (I assume) to 6 or something like that.

I think Andrew misunderstood your question. You want to change the ID of the SCSI interface adapter in the Netapp. He thought you meant changing the vendor ID string of the tape drive (which is what my post was about).
I want to change it from 7 (I assume) to 6 or something like that.
Every controller I know of ships with set to SCSI ID 7, and most don't give you the option to change it. Do you have a tape drive that can only be on ID 7 or something?
No, I wanted to share a stacker between two filers. Guess I'll try one of those SCSI switches I see advertised.
