SCSI tape drive
Hi Guys,
Want some help to get my tape drive work. I have 2 SCSI disks and 1 SCSI tape drive. Disks are working fine. But the tape drive not. In /proc/scsi/scsi, I have Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MAP3367NC Rev: 5207 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MAP3367NC Rev: 5207 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 08 Lun: 00 Vendor: SDR Model: GEM318 Rev: 0 Type: Processor ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Why Type: Processor in the 3rd entry ? When I issue " mt -f /dev/st0 status", I get "/dev/st0: No such device". And when I issue "mt -f /dev/sg2 status", I get "/dev/sg2: Operation not permitted". Thanks in advance for any help. -San |
do you have scsi tape support built into your kernel?

In your /proc/scsi/scsi listing I don't see anything that looks like a tape drive.
From Google, I get: FUJITSU Model: MAP3367NC > 36GB 80PIN SCSI FUJITSU DRIVE FUJITSU Model: MAP3367NC > 36GB 80PIN SCSI FUJITSU DRIVE SDR Model: GEM318 > Altos G700 BPL4 disk cage Perhaps you need to check your power and SCSI cable connections? |
Drive model
Hi,
Actually the drive model is STD2401LW. Now I can 't find drivers from anywhare ? |
The only driver you need is the SCSI tape module st. What distro are you running?
If it isn't loading try: modprobe st |
It's RHEL 3.0.
[root@bear root]# modprobe st [root@bear root]# mt -f /dev/st0 rewind /dev/st0: No such device May be I'll try a newer version of st ? |
Check the output of dmesg. Do you see the tape drive?
Also try cat /proc/scsi/scsi Does anything show for the drive? The device might be something other than /dev/st0. Do you have a /dev/scsi directory? |
I tried "dmesg|grep tape". Nothing.
But for dmesg|grep scsi it gives; Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 Attached scsi generic sg2 at scsi0, channel 0, id 8, lun 0, type 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My /proc/scsi/scsi is; [root@bear etc]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MAP3367NC Rev: 5207 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MAP3367NC Rev: 5207 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 08 Lun: 00 Vendor: SDR Model: GEM318 Rev: 0 Type: Processor ANSI SCSI revision: 02 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the last entry "Type: Processor" :( And I don't have a /dev/scsi/ directory. |
Is the SCSI ID of the tape drive 8?
Are you using SCSI emulation? |
Yes, ID 8.
>Are you using SCSI emulation? How can I know ??? Regards. |
