Installed a SCSI card to rx2660 nothing on ioscan

Hello everyone,

I installed a SCSI card to our RX2660, and connected our DAT72 tape drive. I did an ioscan and still could not see the drive. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

I assume you have an "UNKNOWN" entry in ioscan because of a missing stape driver.

Install the stape driver and you will see the device

# kcmodule stape=static

Use sam to do the changes and a reboot is required for this change.

11.23 and above no longer enables a number of drivers by default like 11.11 did.

If the system does not have that type of hardware at install then it will not be included.

kcmodule stape=static and force stape to static. Might wish to force on all your servers if you intend to eventually connect a tape drive in the future.

I checked stape and schgr and they are already static.

# kcmodule | grep stape
stape static explicit
# kcmodule | grep schgr
schgr static explicit


Thanks,
