Check the external drive's SCSI ID
Your LTO tape drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 3. Each device on the SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID. The
drive can be assigned any unused ID between 0 and 15. Do not use SCSI ID 7, which is reserved for the SCSI controller. SCSI
ID 0 is typically assigned to the boot disk and should not be used unless the tape drive is on a dedicated SCSI bus.
