Unable to detect Tape drive
I have a DL360 with Redhat Enterprise 3. I tried to connect a HP DAT 72 tape drive to the machine but although the tape drive is detected during boot up, once logged in, under hardware browser, the tape drive is not detected.
Is there anywhere to solve this? ie to mount the tape drive, etc?
I did try modprobe st, mt f /dev/st0 status but nothing happens.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Unable to detect Tape drive
Take a look at the output of dmesg and you should hopefully see details of the tape drive during boot up...
Cheers,
Rob

Re: Unable to detect Tape drive
But as I am not at the site this couple of weeks will try out and reply with the results then.
In dmesg, any particular string to look out for? There is alot of info there but I am not sure which one points to tape drive.
Regards
Bravo

Re: Unable to detect Tape drive
Assuming the tape drive is SCSI, then I'd probably start by searching for "scsi"
You might also want to look for "st" although that might bring back too much info...
Cheers,
Rob

Re: Unable to detect Tape drive
you must switch the SCSI Switch to "1". For more detail kindly check
