Re: IBM i guest of IBM i host doesn't find tape drive

Shot in the dark here. So do you have a scsi terminator plugged into the
drive? Did you accidently plug in a scsi loopback tester instead of a
terminator? They look similar, the loop back cap is for running some kind
of on board diagnostic on the drive itself from the control panel.

I'm not sure if the TS2900 comes with a loopback tool. Just something to
check.

DST doesn't find it even if I F13 to bypass bus selection.

One more thought. MAKE REALLY sure the tape device is VARIED OFF on

the

hosting partition

I tried it both ways. I'm glad it really is supposed to be simple.
Less glad that I can't copy a .log file or a .config file for another
set of eyes to scan.

Thanks for confirming that the book is right. Now it's a matter of
Really Looking at it and making sure I have all the matches matching.
