Re: tape drive connecting problem
For proper tape drive functionality a driver called stape must be compiled into the kernel
sam
Kernel Configuration
Drivers
Make sure stape is in.
You will be prompted to recompile the kernel and boot the system.
After this assuming there is no SCSI device conflict, you should see the tape drivers and be able to use the tape device.

SolutionIf the stape drive is not set to static, set it to static in the kernel using sam or else use command "kcmodule stape=static". Please note that you would require a reboot after this. But if the drive is showing in ioscan, that means the driver is enabled & you probaby have a scsi id problem due to which the device file is not created.
Paste the "ioscan -fnC tape" output here. Also, try changing the SCSI id behind the drive. Note that you will have to remove power to the drive before changing the SCSI ID & then power it on again. It would be better if you remove the scsi cable as well before changing the SCSI ID.

Re: tape drive connecting problem
# model
# ioscan -fn
To include the stape driver run
# # kcmodule stape=static
NOTE: The configuration being loaded contains the following change(s)
that cannot be applied immediately and which will be held for
the next boot:
-- The configuration is supposed to include a module 'stape' which
is not available without a kernel rebuild.
WARNING: The automatic 'backup' configuration currently contains the
configuration that was in use before the last reboot of this
system.
==> Do you wish to update it to contain the current configuration
before making the requested change? y
* The automatic 'backup' configuration has been updated.
* Building a new kernel for configuration 'nextboot'...
* Adding version information to new kernel...
* The requested changes have been saved, and will take effect at
next boot.
Module State Cause
stape (now) unused
(next boot) static explicit

Hope this helps!
