Which drivers are needed to use the tape drive depend on several factors. I'm not sure that any drivers are needed to simply see it though. But I don't pull out standard drivers from my kernels and see what still works. An excerpt from the output from "ioscan -fn":
So I think the list of needed drivers is: ccio, bus_adaptor, c720, tgt, and stape. Note that the tape drive is "CLAIMED". That is the indication that everything is cool driver-wise. Now, "stape" is all I see when I do an "lsdev". "ccio" and "c720" are in the system file. Don't know where "bus_adaptor" and "tgt" come from.
I have not yet build a custom kernel with 11.23..I know that HP changed a bunch of stuff. But I would not use SAM, especially when it thinks that "framebuf" and "ramdisc" might help. I'm not up on the new commands though.
Is this a supported tape drive? If not, it may not work at all. What does ioscan show? If the driver is not autoconfiguring itself, you can try using ioscan to forcibly bind the driver to the path.
I do daily backups running a shell script. I use 6 different tapes for each day (monday through saturday).
First of all I insert the tape then run the script and when it finished I eject the tape.
Until today I was doing this with no problem, but now I'm getting this message constantly (even... (4 Replies)

hi-
I just installed a quad gigaswift ethernet scsi card to my sunblade 150. I checked with the docs, and got all of the required drivers on the box. Now, I'm trying to mount an external scsi tape drive with no luck. I set the scsi address on the external drive to 0. Here's what I'm coming... (9 Replies)
Running into an interesting problem here:
I can add the tape with "mkdev tape" the system appears to see it wwith "hwconfig -hc" however a 'tape status /dev/rStp0' says 'no device found',
checked the configuration files in 'etc' all appear to be correct.
Any suggestion appreciated
