Re: tape library

Probably it is connected with a SCSI interface.
If so, get the SCSI id of the tape lib and use mtx (http://mtx.badtux.net/).
If for example it is on the first SCSI adapter, first ID you can run:
mtx -f /dev/sg0 status

For example, to see what are your SCSI adapters:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
For each adapter check what are the devices attached:
ls /proc/scsi/<adapter>

etc...

Bottom line, the starting point is to find what SCSI adapter do you have and then find the device id for the tape and tape driver to identify the scsi device : /dev/sg<number> . The the tape driver (probably different from the tape library - not sure for this model) will be accessible from /dev/[n]st<tape_drive_number>

We have a small tape library device (Dell PowerVault 120T) attached to our systems, but it's never been used. We've been trying to figure how to access it - what the tape device would be labeled. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
