tape drive problem

[u21300135]

I have a small problem getting a HP dat working on a hp dl380. I've read a few posts about similar problems on the ubuntu forum but nothing has helped.

I have added st to /etc/modules and st is listed in lsmod but /dev/st0 is still not created.
Dmesg doesnt show any info about the drive.

Anybody got any ideas on how to solve this.

Regards Kenneth

Re: tape drive problem

Well. It seems as if nobody had an answer so I'll post the solution if anybody else has the same problem.

Add the following to a init.d start file.

modprobe st
echo "engage scsi" > /proc/driver/cciss/cciss0
echo "rescan" > /proc/drive/cciss/cciss0

Many thanks to Redhat support for supplying this info.
