Last week we had a couple problems with backups and we had the tape drive replaced on our Alphaserver 800 running Tru64 5.1 pk3. It ran fine for a couple of days then last night I got the following.
 
vdump: can't open dev </dev/ntape/tape0>; [6] No such device or address

vdump: can't open dev </dev/ntape/tape0>; [6] No such device or address

vdump: can't open dev </dev/ntape/tape0>; [6] No such device or address

vdump: can't open dev </dev/ntape/tape0>; [6] No such device or address

/var/adm/messages looks clean and I do not show anything in the event viewer. I tried another tape and tested this morning and I got the same message. For some reason, I can't search the archive at this time. This is probably some little simple thing but I am close to vacation and cognitive processing has slowed.
