I have isntalled the Red Hat Linux 9.0 on a Compaq DL380 server, and then Installed a DLt Tape Drive.
The box has SMART-Array controller and a SCSI controler in it.
DLT Drive is shown at the boot time during the BIOS test etc. but not after the boot.
I have tried running "kuzu" but no success.
Shall be thankful if somebody advises what to do get that DTL Drive working.
Thanks
Abdul Majid

Re: DLT Drive not working on Red Hat Linux 9.0 (DL380)
# demesg | grep "st"
also the command
#cdrecord -scanbus
This will tell you if it isee your scsi
and last
# mt -f /dev/st0 status
Tell us what the above reveale ... if all the result are negatif then have a look at lsmod there should be some scsi modules there otherwise these will need loading/config
Keep us informed so we can help you futher

Re: DLT Drive not working on Red Hat Linux 9.0 (DL380)
Check your /etc/modules.conf and verify whether these lines are present:
alias scsi_hostadapter
probeall scsi_hostadapter
alias char-major-9 st
If they aren't, add them to /etc/modules.conf. Then, issue these commands in the following order:
depmod -a
modprobe st
This should detect your DLT drive. If it does not, make this:
depmod -a
modprobe
modprobe st
You'll dont have to do this in each boot because /etc/modules.conf has been modified to automatize the process.

Re: DLT Drive not working on Red Hat Linux 9.0 (DL380)
dmesg |grep "st" and the output is:
"[017] ftape-ctl.c (ftape_enable_Rsmp_7ec0d5d4) - ftape_activate_drive (&ftape_status.fti_drive_type) failed: -19."
This messages bas been repeated a number of times.
I also have looked into the /etc/modules.conf and found the line:
"alias scsi_hostadapter cpqarray"
What I believe is that system is not recognizing the On Board SCSI Boar.
Can you please advise me that what is the name of the module/driver for onboard SCSI Adaptor.
Thanks

The module name for the onboard SCSI is sym53c8xx. You can use it by adding the lines
alias scsi_hostadapter2 sym53c8xx
probeall scsi_hostadapter2 sym53c8xx
Don't forget to assign the points!

From this menu should see your tape
but first Yes, as Paulo says load module sym53c8xx this may do the trick
then
cdrecord -scanbus
this should now reward you with st0 entry

Re: DLT Drive not working on Red Hat Linux 9.0 (DL380)
Have you tried to do a "modprobe sym53c8xx"?
Check if hou have the neccesary module:
cd /lib/modules/`uname -a`/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2
There should be a file called "sym53c8xx.o.gz" there. If there is no file or directory. then you'll have to recompile your kernel.
Good luck,
Paulo Fessel
