[rescue] Tape Drive woes

[Brian Deloria]

Everything that I've read suggested that if an LVD device was connected to
an HVD controller or vice versa that the bus would be shut down to prevent
damage.

I tried everything I could thing of with cfgadm and devfsadm to try and
"revive" the controller on the card to no avail.  My only solution was to
clean out the old config with a "devfsadm -C -v -c tape" which then removed
the residual tape config and then connect the tape drive to the other port
on the controller.  This meant no needed config changes to the backup
scripts and it's run fine.

I'm going to have to start digging through the old machines here to see if I
can find another HVD PCI controller to test this tape unit with on another
machine as well as to try and figure out definitavely if this in fact the
culprit.

Thanks,

Brian
