We couldn't care less what QLogic calls it! :D Trimming the rest which is also useful but I have some basic questions: - I looked up your tape device because I remember from FC tape that one of the commands got deprecated (I think A7 not A5) and the Python 2K is a SCSI tape device, can I assume you are using the ATTO SCSI/FC bridge which Spectra recommends/ships with it? If so, are you sure that is configured properly to relay all commands (apparently you can login into the bridge and verify the unit)? - Is FC tape support enabled in the QLogic BIOS out of curiosity? [what's weird is I have no idea what the SCSI/FC bridge thing does in this scenario] These are just some basic questions to get started. I haven't used or seen a tape changer in a long time! :D -aps
