Bios of the system successfully detect the tape but tape is not functional in OS. The out put of cat /proc/scsi/scsi is show noting.I was face same problem with RHES 4 but the issue was resoled by switch SCSI ID 1. The model of tape is DDS 4 connected with SCSI cable.Can any body guide me what I need to do. Thanks in advance.

You could try updating it with this:<BR /><BR /><A href="http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/25356.html" target="_blank">http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/25356.html</A><BR /><BR />That might help...<BR /><BR />Cheers,<BR /><BR />Rob Wed, 06 Jun 2007 02:55:38 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/tape-drive-not-detect/m-p/5051361#M64243 Rob Leadbeater 2007-06-06T02:55:38Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/tape-drive-not-detect/m-p/5051362#M64244 Dear SEP/Rob<BR />Thank you.Issue Resolved Wed, 06 Jun 2007 04:15:36 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/tape-drive-not-detect/m-p/5051362#M64244 Khalid Shakoor 2007-06-06T04:15:36Z
