Hi,
We are working with an AlphaServer 4100/ DU 3.2G, which is replacing an
old NCR 3431, and as a part of this upgrade, we need to work with an NCR
differential
reel tape drive.
At the P00>> prompt, the Alpha shows an MKE400 with no description (for
example, we see things like MKD500 Digital TLZ09).
When we try to boot (with the tape drive on), we get :
tz33 scsi4 bus 4 target 1 lun 0 NCR H6210-STD1-03-46C632 0-11
an then hangs !. The only thing we can do is a hard reset.
After that, we tried to boot turning off the tape drive. DU came up,then
we started the drive and it worked fine. We've tested this configuration
several times (booting with the tape on and off), with the same weird
behavior.
Is there any experience/hint about this ?
Thanks in advance
