Hello Nejad.

You can install the tape driver using SAM.

Hi,

#lsdev -C tape
Character Block Driver Class
205 -1 stape tape


Should give similar output if the driver is there in kernel otherwise shall be blank.

If the driver not listed you can add the same through either command line or using SAM.

SAM->Kenrel Configuration->Drivers

Select stape and from action menu select add driver to kernel. Followed by this the kernel shall rebuild and the system shall reboot
