If the actual driver is missing in the kernel, go into SAM and use the Drivers menu under Kernel Configuration to add it.

hpux 11.11
kmadmin -k|grep tape

If no driver loaded then add it, recompile kernel and reboot.

11.23
kcmodule|grep tape

If not static then add it, recompite kernel and reboot.

If stape is compiled into kernel then ioscan, insf -eH hwaddr, then ioscan -kfnC tape
