if the new hw is completely missing from ioscan, you have a hw issue that needs to be addressed.

also -k scans the kernel not the hw. you might try it without the -k to see if the results are any different.

Hi,
are there scsi error in syslog.log file?

Enrico

[Andrew Rutter]

hi,

doa full ioscan without any options

#ioscan

this will do a fresh scan of the system not a cached one.

then install special dev files

#insf -e

then a full ioscan again to verify.

if still missing check the tape drivers are installed in the kernal with SAM.

[Enrico P.]

Do you have installed the tape driver?
Check with the command:

kmsystem|grep tape

Enrico

[Andreas Auns]

kmsytem |grep tape
not found is the answer.

[Enrico P.]

try with

grep tape /stand/system

Enrico

[Andreas Auns]

hi,

To verify if its the card or HPUX.

Reboot the workstation and stop from booting at PDC.

type in io

To check io interfaces available. If card is there check with search

type sea

to search for bootable devices.

If tape is found here then problem lies with HPUX. If not then hardware problem.

Also check terminators on bus aswell. And verify that the tape and mo are not at Scsi ID 7

Hi, Andrew

I stop the system at boot.
Go to info, an write io
The PCI 3 at 10/1/3/0 SCSI Slot 3 is found.
But when I search for Boot device I found
CD ROM on IDE
HD on FWSCSI.6.0

No tape is found.

[Andreas Auns]

Problem locates.
SCSI card was differential, but I need a singel ended card.

I have some in an another Worstation.
I chnge it and I have no Problems more.

Thank you for Help Andrew and Enrico
