External DDS-3 C1556

Can anyone tell me if they have successfully used a HP External DDS-3 Tape Drive ( p/n C1556 ) with Linux? I've looked at RedHat's HCL and there is no mention of that drive.

TIA!

Hello,

I successfully used a C1537A DDS3 drive with firmware HP02. However, no information about C1556.

Good luck.

Hi

First, confirm the DDS scsi ID.

2nd confirm it is detected from system BIOS.

3rd confirm your scsi card AND DDS3 drive is detected from Linux kernel.

4th confirm st (scsi tape) driver is loaded in your kernel. #lsmod or dmesg

5th try # tar tvf /dev/st0 and see if the drive work.

Enjoy,
