Lately I have discovered that some of our backup operators have been
using DDS2 tapes in TLZ06 tape drives. According to the man pages, the
TLZ06 was never designed to use these.
What is happening is that the tapes are being written at 61000 BPI.
They can be read back on a TLZ06, but when they're put in a newer drive, the
density is set to 97000 bpi and the tape is unreadable.
What I'm wondering is, is there a way to set the system to override
the default density and read these things back in at 61000? I'm a little
confused because I can customise the DDR base and status shows that it will
write at this density, but how would I read the tape back in if I did that?
Is there a software setting anywhere? Any solution besides, perhaps,
plugging the hole in the cartridge? These tapes are tar and dump format.
Thanks

Subject: attaching more than one RAID array to ES40
Hello Managers,
We have an ES40 that has a pair of HSZ80 RAID controllers partnered
together, and controlling about 4 shelves of disk together.
Is it possible to add another pair of HSZ70 (yes, different controller)
to this setup? Would it need another another SCSI card to host the
other set of controllers, or it could somehow daisy chain to the
original pair?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
