Thanks for both your responses. It does sound to be some kind of faulty connection somewhere, but I've tried the tape drive and cable on another server (SCSI 160 card) and it works without issues (putting it back on the original server brings back the issue so I don't think it needed reseating or anything). How likely is it that something within the card could be knackering bits 0 and 2?
Anyhow, we have someone from Dell onsite today to mess about with the SCSI card, in case the connection problem is caused by that.

Note that that "p...@jpph PHPRHPH 2" is exactly what you get when you take "QUANTUM ULTRIUM 3" and clear bits 0 and 2 in every character. Check the pins on both the cable and the terminator. Those 68-pin connectors are a bitch. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
