only see the MSL6000 .... is there a way to force red hat to rescan
for tape drives... NOT Kudzu ...coz seems like it is not working with
me good
Check that the relevant driver is installed. For scsi tapes that is st,
and st will in turn depend on the SCSI driver for your SCSI card. Since
you can see the library I would assume that your SCSI driver is working.
Is the st kernel module installed? If it isn't then you need to figure
out why it's stopped loading, it should get loaded at boot-up if you
have SCSI tapes attached. If it is loaded, try unloading it and
re-loading it and have a look in /var/log/messages to see what devices
it finds.
The sg3_utils package has some useful tools in it. One of those tools is
sg_scan. This scans the SCSI buses and reports on the devices it finds.
or what shall we do?!!! There is no drivers for the HP StorageWorks
Ultrium 460 Tape Drive under Red Hat Linux AS 4 Update 4!?!
No specific driver should be necessary. The st driver ought to work. We
have HP Ultrium 3 drives in a Quantum ATL M2500 library on a system
running AS4-U4, all of which works perfectly using st.
