I have a HP Proliant DL380 come with an internal DAT72 tape drive. I have installed RH enterprise 3 successful but I cannot get the tape drive to work.

From the dmesg I cannot see the drive

Wanaka,

Have you been able to figure this out? I am having the same issue on a Redhat 2.1 update 4 system using an MPT controler. The tape drive is not recognized once I insert the st module.

Thanks

After you boot the system up, what is the output of 'lsmod' ? And how is the tape drive connected to the system?

You should keep in mind that b/c the tape drive is not necessary for the boot sequence, the module is not loaded during the boot sequence.

I think I can help you get this working as long as you dont' have it connected to a cciss RAID array.

I have experienced the very same thing on an IBM xSeries 235.

I just did this:-
tar -cvf /dev/sg0 /

tar: /dev/sg0: Wrote only 0 of 10240 bytes
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[root@crms /]# tar -cvf /dev/st0 /

And it appears to be working. It seems that accessing device /dev/sg0 somehow woke the tape drive up???

Very strange...

Just wanted to add a quick note, you should never tar / because it will most likely tar /proc and /dev which can put you in an infinite loop. Making an archive of your taped back-up, /dev/sg0 or what-have-you would not be a good thing. I'm not trying to be mean about this, just wanted to state it as a good tid-bit of info.

Yes, my tar command was a stupid one. The good news is that no damage was done.

The other thing is that adding:-
modprobe aic7xxx
to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file seems to have solved the problem. The tape drive is up and running.....
