Then I install IBMtapeutil for tape utility.
The tape drives is connected to the machine, then I restart the machine and the tape driver.
The I run IBMtapeutil to check whether the machine has detect the tape driver.
Open Device, then I put /dev/IBMtape.....but the message is:
"Operation failed with errno 11. Resource temporarily unavailable"
I assume the machine doesn't detect the tape driver yet. Am I correct ??
How to make the machine detect the tape driver ?? Is there any steps that I miss ??

You may need to run depmod to introduce your new driver into modules.dep. Check to see if you have a text file called /lib/modules/kernel-2.6.9-55.EL/modules.dep. Then search /lib/modules/kernel-2.6.9-55.EL/modules.dep to see if your tape driver is in modules.dep. If it isn't then run depmod. See:
man depmod
Boot the machine and see if your tape driver is loaded with the lsmod command.
lsmod | less
If it isn't loaded then try to load it with the modprobe command:
modprobe drivername
After you get the module loaded then try to write to a tape and see what happens.
