ioscan -fn and insf -ev -Ctape

Do you see any device files?

you may have to add the stape driver to your kernel, post an ioscan, and your /stand/system file here

Hi,

# cd /dev
# ioscan -fn >/tmp/ioscan.out1
# insf -e
# ioscan -fn >/tmp/ioscan.out2
View the files and compare.

If this didn't work, compile the kernel once again and reboot

Hi,
The tape driver (stape) is not by default added to the kernel when installing HP-UX. You have to add the driver and create a new kernel.
