Check the drive’s SCSI ID Your actidata LTO HH tape drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 0. Each device on the SCSI bus must have an unique SCSI ID number. The drive can be assigned any unused ID between 0 and 15.
Check your server or HBA documentation to ensure that the SCSI bus and cabling are the correct specification for your tape drive: an Ultra320 bus for actidata LTO-4 and LTO-3 drives. We recommend that you attach the SCSI ribbon cable directly to the SCSI host bus adapter.
