Getting HP Ultrium 230 on Redhat 7.3 to work

Hi,

We have just purchased an IBM x255 server with an HP LTO 230 tape drive. Redhat 7.3 OS was installed with the custom option.

As per the /etc/sysconfig/hwconf, there is an entry for the HP Ultrium, howevere I cannot "see" this device on linux!!!
1. What is the equivalent to ioscan -funC tape on linux (kudzu?)
2. How do I tell what this device name is e.g. on hp-ux ioscan -funC will tell me c0t4d0BEST
3. Do I need to install any patches or make any modifications to be able to "see" this device on linux.

Many Thanks
Vinesh
