I have an external HP SureStore DLT VS80 with a SCSI LVD 68 pin
interface and an external HP SureStore DAT24 with a SCSI Centronics
50 pin Narrow SE interface. The cable for the DAT has a Centronics
connector at one end and a 68 Pin Wide to Narrow terminated
connector at the other. The cable for the DLT has a LVD/SE 68 pin
connector at both ends. I have terminator blocks for both devices.
If I connect the devices thus:
terminator --> DAT --> DLT --> scsi_hostadapter (boot hangs)
Then the system hangs when booting. I can get the system to boot
up form this point by turning off both external tape drives. If I
connect the devices individually then the host boots and the system
can access which ever is attached to the host.
terminator --> DLT --> scsi_hostadapter (boots, device accessible)
terminator --> DAT --> scsi_hostadapter (boots, device accessible)
My question is: Is it possible to daisy-chain these two devices to
the host in manner that permits the system to boot and access both;
and if so, how does one accomplish this?
Regards,
Jim
