The library will handle cleaning for you provided that:- 1) Application cleaning is permanently disabled 2) The absolute correct cartridge is in use and some cleanings remain unused (LTO is particularly sensitive to the wrong cassette for example, but so is DLT, DLT1 and SDLT.) 3) The correct...

Many.....I have no list though, its all in my head and I have been unable to get a firewire connection to work to that part of my anatomy....... (Joke aside, I know the boxes, if you have specific questions, I can help).

There are various reasons for this FSC, you will need to get STK onsite to fix this problem, but I would recommend junking the whole system personally. It is unsupported, out of date and costs a fortune to keep running.......! If you need conversion advice and help, place your email address in...

That is true to the best of my knowledge. But you might be better off with an STK code installed, if the library will accept it, which I believe it will.

A library and probably drive firmware update is needed. All the codes MUST come from STK....any others will not load, or if they do, your Robot will not see the drives anymore.....ever.....

Sounds like your hardware config is bad, put it in this query for me to look at. General rule, if hardware compression is not disabled in the application, one drive per bus, if disabled and you accept the knock on effects of bus resets, you can have two per bus. >More is just simply dangerous to...

Usually , removing the exceesive tension on the toothed belt on the hand fixes the problem. The hand looses too much effort overcoming its own mechanical problems when the belt is too tight. Do not blame STK, the basic problem is the mount resistance of the drive itself, the drive was designed...

Have you checked even that the adapter is of the correct type, HVD or LVD/SE for example? Is it and the drives seen at boot? How are they all configured, all on one bus? If yes, forget it, especially on Compaq who are notoriously incompatible to STK equipment, ask yourself, why should they be...

Simple answer, reconfig to the same number of drives as you had before, even if the drives don`t exist. The problem is that the library is searching for cells which should be built in when the drives are not installed/configured..... or place the missing cells above the drives if you have...

The previous mail is an excellent answer to your question, I will only add "where does your data reside?" "How quickly can that source supply the data?" If the answers are less than the total speed of all the drives (IBM Gen 1 drives need upto 40MB/Sec to stream, Gen 2 upto...

What do you get as the answer when you issue the inquiry command, it should look something like this: QuantumDLT4000 D992Q of course this also depends on the actual Quantum device you are using, you did not mention the device type.... Whatever device, DLT4000 or DLT7000 V105...

The advice would seem to be good, what is the answer.....?

What scsi card are you now using? What one before? Have you checked that the new drive is compatible to the SCSI card? There are so many reasons, that I do not want to sit here all day writing questions, but just changing the drive is probably not enough........also, was the new drive from STK...

Use industry standard labels only.....

Come to think of it, it would be cheaper to buy a few Adaptec 2944UW HVD cards than to buy the converters, especially if you buy on eBay......
