Sure sounds like incorrect drive mapping. Like Len, it's been a long time since I had an ACSLS environment, but remember that ACSLS is essentially a robotics controller and is not in the data path. The first step I'd take is mounting a tape in each drive in turn, and use appropriate OS commands like 'mt -f /dev/rmt/0cbn status' to establish which drive it actually loaded. _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
