Tape Drive SCO unix openserver 5.0.7
Hi guys

I had a system running 5.0.6 , we upgraded it to 5.0.7 everything was fine till i try to do a test backup.

The error was cannot open (cannot open /dev/xct0 no such file or directory)what i did was, removed the tape , reboot the system and the try to install it again, but its telling me that there is a tape already installed.
controller is a ad160 id tape id=6
hwconfig -h shows that there is a tape but then i go to remove it
(scoadmin-tape)and its says that there is no tape .

Can you guys give me a hand on this

thanks a lot
Jose
