      <description>Hello,&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;  I just bought a HP Proliant DL380 G3 Server with a internal DAT Tape Drive.&lt;BR /&gt;  Both the port  number and the scsi number are detected by the Smart Array 5i Controller when booting up.&lt;BR /&gt; I install Redhat 2.1 (2.4.9 kernel version), I am not able to rewind the tape or detect the tape drive.&lt;BR /&gt;  I cannot access the tape drive. I tried the following commands:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;  # mt status&lt;BR /&gt;  /dev/tape: No such file or directory&lt;BR /&gt;  # mt -f /dev/st0 status&lt;BR /&gt;  /dev/st0: No such device&lt;BR /&gt;  # mt -f /dev/st1 status&lt;BR /&gt;  /dev/st1: No such device&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;lspci command show the following:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;00:00.0 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0012 (rev 13)&lt;BR /&gt;00:00.1 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0012&lt;BR /&gt;00:00.2 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0000&lt;BR /&gt;00:03.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27)&lt;BR /&gt;00:04.0 System peripheral: Compaq Computer Corporation: Unknown device b203 (rev 01)&lt;BR /&gt;00:04.2 System peripheral: Compaq Computer Corporation: Unknown device b204 (rev 01)&lt;BR /&gt;00:0f.0 ISA bridge: ServerWorks CSB5 South Bridge (rev 93)&lt;BR /&gt;00:0f.1 IDE interface: ServerWorks CSB5 IDE Controller (rev 93)&lt;BR /&gt;00:0f.2 USB Controller: ServerWorks OSB4/CSB5 OHCI USB Controller (rev 05)&lt;BR /&gt;00:0f.3 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0225&lt;BR /&gt;00:10.0 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0101 (rev 05)&lt;BR /&gt;00:10.2 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0101 (rev 05)&lt;BR /&gt;00:11.0 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0101 (rev 05)&lt;BR /&gt;00:11.2 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0101 (rev 05)&lt;BR /&gt;01:03.0 RAID bus controller: Compaq Computer Corporation Smart Array 5i/532 (rev 01)&lt;BR /&gt;02:01.0 Ethernet controller: BROADCOM Corporation: Unknown device 16a7 (rev 02)&lt;BR /&gt;02:02.0 Ethernet controller: BROADCOM Corporation: Unknown device 16a7 (rev 02)&lt;BR /&gt;06:1e.0 PCI Hot-plug controller: Compaq Computer Corporation PCI Hotplug Controller (rev 14)&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt; May I know what should I do to run the tape drive? is a problem about kernel support?  Please let me know if you got any solution. Thanks in advance.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;regards&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Roberto DÃ­a</description>

      <description>Roberto,&lt;BR /&gt;I'm using a Seagate SCSI 4mm DAT&lt;BR /&gt;tape which I use to perform tars and dumps to under RH 7.1.  &lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;You should not have to do any configuration as far as I remember.  After the machine comes up, it will be referenced as /dev/st0.  Note the no-rewind is referenced as /dev/nst0.  &lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Some commands that I use for example:&lt;BR /&gt;tar -cvf /dev/st0 /home # to backup up &lt;BR /&gt;the /home partition via tar&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;dump 0uf /dev/nst0 /dev/sda0 # dump the /dev/sda0 unto the tape without&lt;BR /&gt;rewinding.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Look for the /dev/st0 on your system and let me know&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;regards&lt;BR /&gt;Mobeen&lt;BR /&gt;</description>

      <description>If the test fails, try the standard stuff, cables and termination. Normally if the cable is wrong it won't detect, but you never know.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Also does the device show up on th GUI hardware browswer?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;SEP</description>
