Hi

Any help about what to do for the system to be able to use this new device
is very welcome.

The device is seen at the >>> level as DKA400
bus 0 node 4 target 4 lun 0

I tryied cd /dev
../MAKEDEV tz4 unsuccessfully

Still can't mount the device

Regards.

The device is probably not seen by the kernel.

$ cd /sys/conf
$ ./doconfig (Do not use the -c parameter and do not edit the kernel
file manually)

The same topic has been discussed a couple of threads further up.
(DAT72 install problem...)

You'll need to boot genvmunix first though, and I'm pretty sure doconfig
isn't in /sys/conf, it's in /usr/sbin/

More information needed:

Operating system version?

If V4.*, does the device appear in the hardware inventory shown at boot
time?

If V5.*, does the device appear in the command:

hwmgr show scsi

In either OS version, does the device show up in the command:

scu show edt

Commands used to operate the device?

Note that in Unix, unlike OpenVMS, one does not mount a tape drive.

I would expect it here as MKA400. Are you sure there is not also a disk =
at
bus 0 node 4 target 4 lun 0?
Tape drive names start with a M (magtape) disk names with a D.
Do you have a lun conflict between a disk and a tape drive?
