Hi, Anyone out there help me on this one. I have a customer who has installed a DLT2000 onto a VMS 5.5-2 system. When he tries running backup he gets "tape position lost" immediately after writing the last file in the save set. This drive was working OK on the previous UNIX system that it was installed on. There are numerous entries about DLT2000's in these notes, but none seem to get to the core of the issues. Does anyone know the definitive answer on the following:- 1. Are DLT2000's supported on VMS 2. What is the latest firmware release. 3. Where do we get the firmware from. If the answer is Quantum, does anyone thru which channels. thanks in anticipation, Steve Bevis [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
