We added a new HP C8567 tape drive as tape1.  It is not performing the
compression on a vdump to the compressed device /dev/ntape/tape1_d1.

The "hwmgr - show scsi" command reflects HP

126: /dev/ntape/tape1     HP       C5683A           bus-9-targ-1-lun-0

While the text file ddr.dbase has COMPAQ

SCSIDEVICE
    #
    # Matches C5683A
    #
    #
    Type = tape
    Name = "COMPAQ" "C5683A"  .......


The utility ddr_config compiles the ddr.dbase.text file to a ddr.db
database.

Haven't tried this before, is it just a matter of editing "COMPAQ" to
"HP" and running the ddr_config command?
