Quantum dlt vs80 drive and ioscan

[carlomd]

Hi all, I can't seem to get a tape drive seen using ioscan, looks like it only shows the brand name but shows no_hw, unknown, here's an output of ioscan -fn, any pointers would be great, thanks.


# cd etc
# ./ioscan -fn

Shalom,

I will now filter the output for you.


Wide LVD
target 10 0/1/1/1.0 tgt NO_HW DEVICE
unknown -1 0/1/1/1.0.0 NO_HW UNKNOWN BNCHMARKDLT1
target 11 0/1/1/1.1 tgt NO_HW DEVICE
unknown -1 0/1/1/1.1.0 NO_HW UNKNOWN BNCHMARKDLT1


Thats your tape drive.

I'd say there is a problem with the LVD scsi card or the drive itself. Please check cabling, scsi ID as obvious candidates for being the cause here.

Thanks for the reply Steven, let me tell you more about the server, it's a fairly new RP3410 we got in the beginning of the year, and it all came pre-configured off the reseller, it has 3 scsi hdd's in it (1st & 3rd ones mirrored), I actually called HP right when I was 1st trying to install the tape drive about a month ago, but they told me that because there's 3 hdd's, there's no more room for the tape drive and that I need another scsi adapter for it, I tried different ID's also with no luck as well as a different cable. We were gonna try and sell the tape drive since it's still new, and get a HP tape drive to see if it works.
