RHEL 4 tape drive question

[Brent DeGennaro]

RHEL 4 server

fiber switch that connects to an e1200 network storage router in an ESL9322

That e1200 NSR has 1 LTO Ultrium tape drive connected.


At one point the box was able to see the tape drive but no longer does. If I look at /proc/scsi/scsi I see:

Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: COMPAQ Model: ESL9000 Series Rev: 3.31
Type: Medium Changer ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
Vendor: HP Model: OPEN-E Rev: 2114
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 01
Vendor: HP Model: OPEN-E Rev: 2114
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02


Is there a way I can rescan the scsi bus to try to detect the tape drive?

Is there an ioscan equivalent that will show what devices are currently connected?

The fibreutils packages provices the hp_rescan command.

There is also a rescan-scsi-bus.sh available if you google for it.

Where can you obtain the fibreutils package?
