RH/AS3 DLT VS80 tape not recognize
Hi,
RH AS 3, HP Proliant DL380, 3 scsi controller 6400 and 5i for HD and one scsi for a DLT VS80 tape drive. The problem: The drive (tape) gets posted on boot, but I can not write/look/etc at the drive. Command mt -f /dev/st0 status get this output message /dev/st0: No such device. The driver install is from aic7xxx-6.3.2-rlhel3.i686.rpm. But I also get this error at the end of the install. error: %post(aic7xxx-6.3.2-1) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 HP and RH said that hardware and software are compatible. Is anybody using this same set-up? or solution to this problem? Thanks, Ralph |
What does 'cat /proc/scs/scsi' have to say about your attached devices?
|
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: COMPAQ Model: CD-ROM SN-124 Rev: N104 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 |
OK - you installed an RPM module and something in the install script failed. Not a good start, but let's see what else we can learn here.
What does 'modprobe -l aic7*' return? What scsi modules do you have available? Code:
ls -la /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/scsi |
This are the two output:
What does 'modprobe -l aic7*' return?

Okay, now try 'modprobe aic7xxx'
|
cmd: modprobe aic7xxx
modprobe: Can't locate module aic7xxx And with this cmd : modprobe -l aic7* (with lower letter l ) nothing Ralph |
Weird. but it appears to be in your mopdules path. What does 'uanme -a' return?
|
[root]# uname -a
Linux xxxx 2.4.21-9.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Jan 8 17:08:56 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux |
ahah.. thanks to finegan I think we know where to look.
Try 'depmod -a' and see if we get any errors. |
mcleodnine,
The command (depmod -a) does not return anything Ralph |
Now try the afformentioned modprobe lines.
|
[root]# modprobe aic7xxx
modprobe: Can't locate module aic7xxx [root]# modprobe -l aic7* [root]# Another thing, HP install Adaptec card AHA-39160, but RH recomended Adaptec 29160 card! Not sure if this is also the problem |
There's a big difference - you need the module called 'aic79xx'. Looks like that's the wrong RPM module you got in the first place.
|
The driver aic79xx is for AHA-39160? this is the card that we have install. If this is the case I will download the new driver and post the outcome.
Thanks, Ralph |
