Anything interesting in dmesg|/var/log/messages ?, is there any documentation from IBM on how to configure it?, with the cciss driver on proliant servers for example, you have to "engage" the external SCSI connection to be able to use it...
Hi there! Thanks for replying. I talked with IBM yesterday, and finally IBM came to the conclusion that the built-in sas connector is not suitable for connecting tape drives to the server. (It's meant for external harddisk storage) They advised me to purchase an IBM SAS HBA CONTROLLER PCI-E 25R8060, (or a similar HP thing) to connect the tape drive to. I have ordered this card, and should receive one on monday or tuesday. A pointer to this, was the fact that in the ServeRAID bios, the tape drive was seen, but not assinged a 'slot number'. (where all harddisks were) Anyway, after the weekend when I have tried the IBM HBA, I'll report back here with the results. Have a nice weekend! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
