HP StorageWorks DAT 40i Getting Started Manual page 43

Do drivers need to be installed and, if so, which ones
Description
It is unclear whether there is a need to
install drivers onto the system, and more
help is required.
The required drivers do not appear to be
available.
Testing after installation
Remember that the system recognizes devices during boot-up. If you swap or connect a
product when your system is running, you will need to reboot the system. Rebooting the system
will reset devices and will often resolve problems. It is good practice to reboot every time you
add a driver or install firmware.
Caution Never power off the drive during a firmware upgrade.
The server does not reboot after installation
Possible reason
You have connected the tape drive to an
existing SCSI bus that has other devices
connected to it and the SCSI address of your
HP StorageWorks DAT drive is probably
identical to the address used by another
device.
You have installed an additional SCSI host
bus adapter and its resources are clashing
with an existing adapter.
You have disconnected the power or SCSI
cable from the server's boot disk during the
drive installation process.
Further information
Detailed information specific to your system can be
found on the www.hp.com/go/connect web site.
Windows drivers can be obtained from the
HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM or from
www.hp.com/support. For support on UNIX
systems, see the UNIX Configuration Guide on the
HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM.
that states support for HP StorageWorks DAT tape
drives also provides the required drivers.)
Future drivers will be provided via the support web site
when they become available.
Recommended action
Make sure that each device on the SCSI bus has a
unique ID.
We recommend that the HP StorageWorks DAT tape
drive is connected to a dedicated host bus adapter.
Do not connect the drive to a disk RAID controller.
Remove the new host bus adapter and check the
server documentation.
Check that the cables to all devices are firmly
connected.
