Unable to find the device file name of my tape
I have just installed a new scsi card on my HP Proliant DL360 G3 server which is running red hat enterprise linux 5. And I have connect a external storageworks DAT72 scsi tape drive on this card.
During system boot I see my scsi card reference which for mean that my scsi card was recognize. Now I want to know if my tape drive was recognize too by the systems and if yes how can you see its device file name, and if no what can I do to make it recognize.
Thx in Advance.

Re: Unable to find the device file name of my tape
If you have the lsscsi package installed, you can run the 'lsscsi' command, which should show your tape device if the system recognizes it.

Re: Unable to find the device file name of my tape
- cat /proc/scsi/scsi is the following:
[root@localhost Desktop]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
[root@localhost Desktop]#
- ls -l /dev/*st* is the following:
[root@localhost Desktop]# ls -l /dev/*st*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 jan 6 17:47 /dev/stderr -> /proc/self/fd/2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 jan 6 17:47 /dev/stdin -> /proc/self/fd/0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 jan 6 17:47 /dev/stdout -> /proc/self/fd/1

Can you post snippet of those messages referring to your scsi card? What kind of SCSI card is it?

Re: Unable to find the device file name of my tape
Question though -- this seems to be a new install right? Did you happen to install the Proliant SUpport Pack which should include the driver for your DAT72 controller?
