The Question is: Good Morning, i have a TLZ07 and i use DDS2 Tapes, for what i know tlz07 should support dds2 tapes. The problem is that the dds2 tape seems not to be recognised and they are treated as DDS1. I have tryed to use the following command, but it is steel seen as a dds1. $init/media=compa/dens=dds2 $mount/foreign/cache=tape_data/media=compa/dens=dds2 $backup/log/image/rew/dens=dds2/media=compa Any suggestion??? Thanks in advance, Gianni. The Answer is : The OpenVMS Wizard would expect a TLZ07 to recognize and process DDS-2 (DDS-2 120M and DDS-2 90M) media, as well as the older DSS-1 (DDS-1 90M and 60M) media. The media involved will generally have either a DDS or a DDS-2 logo. For what should be obvious reasons, your tapes should be DDS-2 logo 90M or 120M tapes -- there has been both DDS-1 and DDS-2 90M media seen around, 120M is normally only DDS-2. Do not use DDS-2 media in a DDS-1 drive. This can lead to problems with the media and the drive, as DDS-1 drives and DDS-2 media are not particularly compatible. (DDS-2 media is thinner than DDS-1.) You can use DDS-1 media in a DDS-2 drive, and with recording formats compatible with DDS-1 drives. You may want to check for available OpenVMS ECO kits, as well, as there have been cases were displays were incorrect or compaction was not correctly enabled.
