Hello Magnus, I just installed a Dell 124T with autochanger for 16 tapes. However, when I use bconsole to do the "update" command, it only sees 8 tapes, in fact it only thinks it is an 8 tape changer.
What do I have to do to make it see all 16 tapes? thanks in advance. JBB Tuesday, February 13, 2007, 5:09:35 AM, you wrote: >> Hi, >> I have an Dell 124T with Autochanger for 8 tapes.
