Hi there,
I'm trying to setup a backup system using an HP SureStore 40x6, but
this is the first time I'm using tapes under Linux and I'm a bit lost.
It seems I cannot access the tapes, as I get the following:
cognos ~ # mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
/dev/nst0: No such device or address
cognos ~ # mt -f /dev/st0 rewind
/dev/st0: No such device or address
cognos ~ # ls -l /dev/nst0
crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 128 mar 10 18:47 /dev/nst0
cognos ~ # ls -l /dev/st0
crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 0 mar 10 18:47 /dev/st0
It seems my system has not detected the tape autochanger, as I only
get the SCSI disk in the list of SCSI devices:
cognos ~ # cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: COMPAQ Model: BD07296B44 Rev: HPB6
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03
I have two SCSI adapters:
cognos ~ # lspci
0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) GCNB-LE Host
Bridge (rev 32)
0000:00:00.1 Host bridge: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) GCNB-LE Host Bridge
0000:00:03.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27)
0000:00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme
BCM5702X Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02)
0000:00:05.0 System peripheral: Compaq Computer Corporation Advanced
System Management Controller
0000:00:06.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7892A U160/m (rev 02)
0000:00:08.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic
53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 07)
0000:00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme
BCM5705_2 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 03)
0000:00:0e.0 IDE interface: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) CSB6 IDE
Controller (rev a0)
0000:00:0f.0 ISA bridge: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) CSB6 South
Bridge (rev a0)
0000:00:0f.2 USB Controller: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) CSB6 OHCI
USB Controller (rev 05)
0000:00:0f.3 Host bridge: Broadcom (formerly ServerWorks) GCLE-2 Host Bridge
I think the tape autochanger is connected to the second one (LSI Logic
/ Symbios Logic 53c1030), so I have checked my kernel config searching
for drivers. Everything I can think of seems to be compiled in the
kernel, or as modules I have tried to modprobe, but with no positive
results... any ideas?
Thanks in advance, best regards
Jose

There's nothing as posting a question to inmediately find the answer:
I had to modprobe mptbase and mptscsih (MPT Fusion support). Now it
seems to be working
Best regards

Just a guess: What about SCSI Tape (CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST) and/or SCSI Generic
(CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG) support, maybe also CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN (multiple
LUNs) in your kernel?
HTH...
