Table 5–6. Problems Using the DDS Tape Drive
Problem
The DDS tape drive
does not respond to
commands.
If problems persist, contact your system administrator or call
your designated service representative.
Solution
Re-enter the commands and make sure
that you have typed them correctly.
Make sure that you specified the cor-
rect device file name for commands
that require a device file name.
Make sure the write-protect tab is set
to write if you are trying to copy data
to a data cassette.
Make sure that the system can com-
municate with the drive as described
in "Checking the SCSI IDs" in Ap-
pendix B.
Follow the instructions in the section
entitled "Running System Verification
Tests" later in this chapter to verify
that the tape drive is functioning prop-
erly.
