Re: tape drive
Is the stape driver already included?
If not, do
# kcmodule stape=static
and reboot.
If the server never had a tape, it's maybe not yet configured. So do that above.
The server can't recognize the tape without a reboot. Nor will the device files be created.

Re: tape drive
there is always a possibilty that a pin got bent when reconnecting the drive up.
check the pins in the cable carefully, only one pin needs to be bent missing for it not be picked up.
termination can be checked by checking the pins on the terminator too, and also depends if its an active terminator on the drive or not? does it have an led on it either red/green or orange coloured, when power is to the drive and it is connected up

Re: tape drive
Shutdown the tape drive, change it's scsi address and power back up if there's a conflict.
# Rebuild drivers
insf -e
# Check to see it shows up
ioscan
Reboot to commit any pending updates
