I'm trying to add an external tape drive to a HP ProLiant DL 380 running SuSE Linux Pro 9.2 on the Smart Array controller without much success. The controller BIOS appears to recognize the device during boot, but I can't seem to find it on the system. The contents of /proc/scsi/scsi: Attached devices: Doing a lsmod seems to show the tape driver: Module Size Used by snd_pcm_oss 66728 0 snd_pcm 113284 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 31620 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 14600 1 snd_pcm snd_mixer_oss 25216 1 snd_pcm_oss snd 70532 4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss soundcore 13792 1 snd nvram 13832 0 speedstep_lib 8452 0 edd 14620 0 freq_table 8576 0 thermal 21896 0 processor 30400 1 thermal fan 9348 0 button 12432 0 battery 15364 0 ac 10372 0 ipv6 272256 22 joydev 13760 0 sg 42528 0 st 43164 0 sr_mod 21156 0 ide_cd 44448 0 cdrom 42652 2 sr_mod,ide_cd subfs 12672 1 uhci_hcd 36496 0 ehci_hcd 35204 0 hw_random 9620 0 evdev 13184 0 dm_mod 63104 0 tg3 86660 0 usbcore 120164 4 uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd reiserfs 265680 2 cciss 47588 4 sd_mod 22144 0 scsi_mod 121412 5 sg,st,sr_mod,cciss,sd_mod Has anyone had any success with this type of configuration?

I've seen at least one complaint that the RH 2.6.11 FC _SMP_ kernel will fail to recognize a SCSI tape drive, but that the UP kernel will work. I don't know if that is vanilla kernel issue, or RH specific. If you are currently testing with a SMP kernel, you might want to try booting a UP kernel and see if it works. HTH Greg -- Greg Freemyer

Add this to the /etc/init.d/boot.local for x in /proc/driver/cciss/cciss[0-9]* do echo "engage scsi" > $x done CI.-
