tru64 hp lto2 configuration
We use networker 7.2.2 with two L700 libraries each with 4 IBM lto2 drives. Recently we changed one drive to a HP lto2 drive. This due to renumber problems in windows. We use the 8 drives as shared devices for storage nodes. Now the tru64 node cannot use the new tape drive. When a backup starts the library mounts the tape but cannot sent data to it. It then tries to dismount->eject failure detected etc.
We have removed the drive from the tru64 node and rescanned the scsi interface. Still the same problem. Can anybody help please?

we have checked the ddr.dbase but as there was no entry for the IBM LTO2 drive but only for a hp ultrium we didn't change anything. We haven't tried sji commands yet, will try now.
Entry in ddr.dbase:
SCSIDEVICE

# Matches "Ultrium"
#
Type = tape
Name = "HP" "Ultrium"
#
#
PARAMETERS:
TypeSubClass = lto # Linear Tape Open
TagQueueDepth = 0
MaxTransferSize = 0x0ffffff # (16MB - 1)
ReadyTimeSeconds = 120 # seconds
#
# Ultrium mode select parameters for rewind after reset behavior

MODESELECT:
ModeSelectNumber = 0
SavePage = No
PageFormat = scsi2
BlockDescriptor = yes
TransferLength = 16
Hdr.Tape.BufferMode = 0x1
Data.UBYTE[0] = 0x3D #Vendor Unique Page Code 0x3D
Data.UBYTE[1] = 0x02
Data.UBYTE[2] = 0x01
Data.UBYTE[3] = 0x00
