LINUX AS 4.0 Tape Drive Driver

Hi Forum,

I need to install an external
HP StorageWorks Ultrium 230 Tape Drive on my newly setup LINUX AS 4.0 Updates 2 OS.

From the website,it shows that the tape drive is supported on LINUX AS 4.0

http://h10018.www1.hp.com/wwsolutions/linux/products/storage/backupsolutions.html

I tried to download the driver but unfortuately it stops at Red Hat Linux 9.

Query: Can anyone advise? If I just connect and reboot it will it auto detect?

Thanks/cliff

Shalom Cliff,

The same place that says its supported should have a link to the drivers.

Sir,

It only stops at RedHat Linux 9.0 for the driver download.

Query: Will it be no driver will be needed bundle with the AS 4.0 Updates 2. Only just need to connect n reboot it and it will be auto detected for the tape drive?

Thanks/cliff

The native driver should work for this device...
