I have a server RP5470 with this characteristics:
gc99scs2:/ (108) root% uname -a
HP-UX gc99scs2 B.11.11 U 9000/800 1163424611 unlimited-user license
gc99scs2:/ (109) root% model
9000/800/L3000-7x
The ioscan for tape gives no result:
gc99scs2:/ (110) root% ioscan -fnC tape
gc99scs2:/ (111) root%
The server is connected to one StorageWorks Tape Array and it is turned on and SCSI cable is connected as well.
On the other hand, it looks like the driver is not in kernel use:
gc99scs2:/ (107) root% grep stape /stand/system
gc99scs2:/ (108) root%
Can you give me any advice in order to get the tape unit working?
I think driver is wrong. I have a CD box which went with a Server RP4440. I would like to know if i can get the correct driver from this box in order to install in the RP5470 server.
The print_manifest output and the content of the CD number1 of this CD box are in the attached_files.
The CD box is: HP-UX 11i Version 1

So for you, this should work:
cd /stand/build
/usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -v -s system
kmsystem -S /stand/build/system -c Y stape
mk_kernel -s /stand/build/system
mv /stand/system /stand/system.prev
mv /stand/build/system /stand/system
kmupdate
shutdown -r -y 0

Re: Driver for tape in Server HP 9000 RP5470
the command
#kcmodule stape=static
and reboot the server.
will build the driver into the kernel.

Re: Driver for tape in Server HP 9000 RP5470
#kcmodule stape=static
works for 11.23, but not for 11.11!
Add the module to the kernel as mentioned earlier and reboot. Then you will see the tape device CLAIMED.
Reason for this is, when no tape was connected during the OS installation the module will not be included into the kernel.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
