Scanning new hardware in Redhat AS3

Hi,
I have attached a new HP StorageWorks library
housing 3 tapes on a Proliant D360 server running Rehat Linux AS3. After reboot I do not see any tape even scsi when executing "dmesg" or "lsmod". I have agot a script to scan the scsi but I could not use it (many error). I know that the drivers are included in AS3, I also know that if I re-installed the system I'll see the adapter and tapes but the system is used. How can I do to avoid Linux re-installation ? Thanks

Re: Scanning new hardware in Redhat AS3

You should try loading the modules for the scsi-adapter using modprobe. Maybe by running kudzu, and disable kudzu to start at boot time.

Verify the /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf.
Por que hacerlo dificil si es posible hacerlo facil? - Why do it the hard way, when you can do it the easy way?

Do a google search for "rescan-scsi-bus.sh" -- great little script that generally does the job for me...
