DELL PowerVault 122T DLT VS80

[Konrad Heuer]

Has anyone a DELL PowerVault 122T DLT VS80 tape autoloader up and running
with FreeBSD 4.7?

I don't even need autoload functionality and will load tapes manually,
but can't write data to the tape (could not test reading so far).

The error message when trying to dump is as follows:

Seems to be a problem with a vendor specific SCSI extension, afaik.
The tape drive is made by Benchmark.

Thanks for any idea that may help!

Dell PowerVault 122T

Greetings,

Has anyone used a Dell PowerVault 122T tape loader with FreeBSD.
Specifically I am interested on how well the tape changing works.

 - Mike

P.S.  I would like to use the 122T with the LTO tapes, and Amanda to do
our backups.  I use two Sony AIT SDX-400C drives now.  I have been looking
at the 122T as a potential upgrade in capacity for our system.
