SCSI Card recognition of Tape Drive
Hello
I have a Advansys ASC3030 SCSI card connected to a Redhat 7.2 machine. It is connected to a Seagate CTT8000E-S tape drive. During bootup the SCSI card is recognized together with its parameters as verified by the "dmesg" command. The tape drive is not recognized during bootup and fails to be mentioned by "dmesg". The "/etc/fstab" file does not contain a record of the tape device.
I have powered up the tape drive, switched it on and connected it to the SCSI card using a SCSI cable. It is terminated. It has one LED above the tape but it is not lit when powered on. I do not know whether it should be.
Any help would be appreciated.
Frank
