Nortel SL-100 Tape Drive

[jighed]

The tape drive on our sl-100(msl 10) thinks it is demoounting a tape. I can't busy, test, power off, demount or mount a tape. It gives me an error saying "wait until tape is finished demounting". I've replaced the I/O controller and tape controller. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A man once said, "a good tech ain't afraid to do something stupid.

Jighed,

Humm, have you tried to delete it out as an I/O Device and then put it back in?? is it on an IOC or an IOM? And is it a Magnetic Tape or a SLM drive? You could always try going to the cabinet and physically unplugging it and plugging it back it, that will reset them too.

Perry,

We are talking real switches here, all you CS1000 folks step aside.
