Note that I do _not_ recommend plugging your tape device in 'hot' as it's not designed for it. If you do plug it in and everything survives, then this should get you online. #!/bin/sh # # Add a SCSI device dynamically # # a == hostadapter id (first one being 0) # b == SCSI channel on hostadapter (first one being 0) # c == ID # d == LUN (first one being 0) # # ie: this adds a device on adapter 0, channel 0, id 3 and LUN 0 # # echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 3 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi # echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 6 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi or "scsi remove-single-device 0 0 6 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi Good Luck!
