This machine is IBM X460 with builtin scsi card attached with HDD.

SDLT tape attached with another Adaptec card shown in post boot but not shown in linux hardware browser.

I am new in linux world, so any body can help us to solve this issue.

do you know the exact model of the adaptec scsi controller? check on the manufacturer's site and let us know

this link gives detailed info about the xservers. select your server from the left list (x460 right)
it states your scsi controller as: "adaptec aic-9410". so the next step is to search around for a module/driver for this piece of hardware.

also, what is the output of 'lsmod' and 'lspci'? you may have to be root to run the command. also the output of 'find / -iname aic*' and 'find / -iname adp*?

Adaptec model is 2930.
