My thought was that I could use both on the VaxStation
and use them to
duplicate some tapes that are save_set(s). Apparently it cannot be done
on the VS. Either unit is recognized when connected alone, but when both
are connected the FA is always recognized as MUA0 and the GA is ignored.
Does anyone have an explanation for this, or am I just doing it wrong?
The drivers for VS2000 are designed assuming a single device on the scsi
bus and only one tape best I know. Either that or the two being different
scsi firmware are interacting in some bad way.
Assuming failure on the two tape approach, how might I
make the duplicate
tape(s) without wiping out the contents of my hard disk? It is at the
moment fairly lightly loaded and may hold the save_set. The HD is an RD54
by the way and I am running VMS 5.5.
The rd54 will hold complete 5.5 image and that image can be copied to
either another disk or tape(s). You would then need standalone backup
to copy the image back to another rd54 is you wish.
or use two vs2000s with a tape on each and DECnet running between them.
