SCSI Tape defined as ID 6 but it appears as 7 ... How can I fix it?

[josel]

Howdy!

I just added an adaptec card and dds4 tape drive to SCO server. I followed steps I've used before but this time, the tape drive appears under target ID 7 instead of 6.

I defined the card as target ID 7 then the tape drive as target ID 6 ... Is there a file I can manually edit to fix this?

Interesting enough, if I use mkdev and view scsi devices, tape appears as target ID 6 while 'hwconfig' shows it as target ID 7.

What must I do?

Thank you all in advance!

What do you mean by defining the card as Target ID 7? That is the default, but you don't need to do anything in SCO for that.

I'm not sure I could help much further on this, but it would be helpful to state which Adaptec (and driver) you are using, and also to post your "hwconfig -h" and "mkdev scsi --> Display Configuration" results.

Have you tried simply changing the jumpers on the drive so it is seen as ID 6? If you set it as 6 and it shows as 7, what happens when you set it as 5?

Sometimes jumper settings and docs can be inconsistent, starting at 0 instead of 1, or vice versa.

I ended-up re-installing SCO, this time using a 1940 in lieu of 1960.

Installing SCO does not find (self install) 1960 card while it does pretty well for the 1940 - Makes my life easier.

I now face the problem that my backup software does not find the media but it finds the tape drive itself. I guess I take this one problem to their support department.

Thanks;
