We have a Sun 4/490 which was ordered with 2 * Exabyte Drives
and 1 * CD-ROM drive. In theory this should be possible and
cause no problems ... :-)

Despite a great deal of effort from the local SUN people, the
configuration is still not working.

We have tried:  st0 = Sun, st1 = Dawn (external)
                        (The Sun failed)
                st0 = Sun, st1 = Sun, disconnect CD
                        (Both failed)

The drives ARE at different SCSI addresses and we have replaced
both drives, tried different tapes etc.

Is there ANYONE out there who has two (or more) exebytes connected
to a server? If so, what problems did you find? Can you suggest
any solutions?

HELP!
