Connect DAT40 to DL380 G4

Re: Connect DAT40 to DL380 G4
Generally speaking, the recent 'cciss' drivers should work ok with a tape attached to the SA, however I've never gotten an external tape to work (only a hot-swap one internally).
That being said, it might still work. Some things to check.
You've said it shows up during POST.. This is a good thing. Next thing to check is once the system has booted.
What are the contents of '/proc/scsi/scsi'. Does it list any 'Sequential Access' devices? If it does, then you need to check if the 'st' module is inserted into the kernel (the 'lsmod' command).
If it isn't listed, then it goes back to the kernel. There are some kernel options which have to be set in order for the 'cciss' driver to allow tapes on it's bus'. The main one is:
CONFIG_CISS_SCSI_TAPE=y
Most (if not all) RH systems should have this in their distributed (and eratta) kernels by default. If this is set like this, then have a quick read through the document '/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-*/cciss.txt' (in particular the section on engaging scsi). It talks about this.
If all of that still fails, then you need another controller for the tape.

Re: Connect DAT40 to DL380 G4
I manage to make it work by doing the following:
for x in /proc/driver/cciss/cciss0
do
echo "engage scsi" > $x
done
I learned this from another thread of this forum:

Re: Connect DAT40 to DL380 G4
You should be right. However, I couldn't find the doc you indicated in my system. Thanks a lot for your help.
