1 Hi there,
2
3 I'm trying to setup a backup system using an HP SureStore 40x6, but
4 this is the first time I'm using tapes under Linux and I'm a bit lost.
5
6 It seems I cannot access the tapes, as I get the following:
7 cognos ~ # mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
8 /dev/nst0: No such device or address
9 cognos ~ # mt -f /dev/st0 rewind
10 /dev/st0: No such device or address
11
12 cognos ~ # ls -l /dev/nst0
13 crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 128 mar 10 18:47 /dev/nst0
14 cognos ~ # ls -l /dev/st0
15 crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 0 mar 10 18:47 /dev/st0
16
17 It seems my system has not detected the tape autochanger, as I only
18 get the SCSI disk in the list of SCSI devices:
19 cognos ~ # cat /proc/scsi/scsi
20 Attached devices:
21 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
22 Vendor: COMPAQ Model: BD07296B44 Rev: HPB6
23 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03

26 I have two SCSI adapters:

50 I think the tape autochanger is connected to the second one (LSI Logic
51 / Symbios Logic 53c1030), so I have checked my kernel config searching
52 for drivers. Everything I can think of seems to be compiled in the
53 kernel, or as modules I have tried to modprobe, but with no positive
54 results... any ideas?
55
56 Thanks in advance, best regards
57 Jose
