Hi All:
I'm using:

ArcServe for Netware 7.0 (latest patches)
Netware 6.0 sp2
HP DLT1 Tape Drive on Adaptec 2940uw2 SCSI Card

I just installed a second SCSI Card w/ a LTO drive off of it. That one is woring fine (after a little fighting)

My problem now is that the DLT drive will NOT format a tape from a back-up job.
Formatting from Device Manager works fine. I can back-up the drive fine as well, as long as do an append to media.

Here is the error from Tape$Log:

Mar 31 11:17:21 Tapelist: BNCHMARK DLT1
Mar 31 11:17:21 [c4a62bdc] Format Request Received
Mar 31 11:17:21 [c4a62bdc] Old Tape: serialNo [] [MONDAY3DLT] Seq: 1 ID: 6456
Mar 31 11:17:21 [c4a62bdc] Proposed Tape: serialNo [1886990453] [MONDAY3DLT] Seq: 1 ID: 6a11
Mar 31 11:17:30 E0009 [c4a62bdc] Error Formatting: FAILED TO WRITE VOLUME HEADER

Only thing I found on CA's site was:
Which doesn't seem to apply to my set-up.

Any thoughts? Thanks!
