Hello,
I've just installed an AHA1520B SCSI interface and am having trouble
accessing a tape drive attached to it. During boot, after the interface
initializes I get a message "Unable to get major 9 for SCSI tapes".
All mt commands issued to the tape result in the message
"Device not configured". Is there some additional configuration
I have to perform? I've included the output from various messages
and logs below. Please forgive if this is too much information.
TIA
Bill
