Reading a tape from a StorEdge Autoloader L8.

Does anyone know how to read an LTO tape from this jukebox?

What OS?

How was the tape created? tar, cpio, 3rd party utility?

It's actually on a Solaris 8. Tar

You will need to either manually load a tape via the control panel or use a utility such as 'mtx' to load a tape.

Then use tar to list or restore the tape.
ie: # tar tvf /dev/rmt/0
