5.0.5 tape drive issue

[pheonix1t]

hello,
I'm trying to install a scsi DAT tape drive on an SCO 5.0.5 but I'm
getting an unexpected result.
When I run the sconf -v command, I get the cha (it's on a compaq server)
followed by 0 0 4 0. So, the scsi ID is 4, the rest are all 0's.
I try to add the tape using the scoadmin, but at the end, it gives me 2
configs - a "0" and a "1". When I try to do the kernel re-linking, it
fails!
Why do I get 2 configs instead of just 1?

# sconf -v
Srom wd 0 0 0 0
Stp cha 0 0 4 0
#

Thanks,

Oskar

The two entries means that you have two scsi devices



1 hard disk Srom ws controller 0 bus 0 id 0 lun 0

1 stp tape type cha " 0 0 4 0



take a look to the terminators and the device type you choose

corresponds correctly with your scsi controller

The relink fails with what error? I, for one, am not a mind reader:
Give as much specific information as possible to give anyone reading
this a shot at helping you.

I don't understand what you mean by '2 configs' - Are you saying that
you now have 2 tape drives configured? Show the output that gives you
the '2 configs'.

Huh?? The Srom entry indicates a CD-ROM drive, located on the Primary
IDE channel, set as Master - Typical for an HPaq system. (The wd
driver is IDE)
