Notes Communication errors with VXA-320 tape drives

Some VXA-320 tape drives respond to a different command length than other VXA-320 drives. Unfortunately, Retrospect cannot resolve this difference without user intervention.





If your VXA-320 drive exhibits communication problems with Retrospect 8, such as "incorrect scsiServiceResponse" messages displaying in the Mac OS X system log (viewable with the Console application in /Applications/Utilities/), then you will need to edit the retro.ini file to change Retrospect 8's VXA communication preferences.



To edit the retro.ini file, take these steps:

1. In the Retrospect System Preferences pane, stop the Retrospect Engine.

2. Locate the retro.ini file at /Library/Application Support/Retrospect/retro.ini.

3. Open the retro.ini file with a text editor, such as TextEdit.

4. Add the following lines to the end of the existing text:



[DEVICES]

VXAAtapiNeedsScsiDriver=1





5. Save the edited retro.ini file.

6. Start the Retrospect Engine in System Preferences pane.
