Hi Richard,

The Linux kernel by default only probes LUN 0. You will probably have to 
set
max_scsi_luns=1 as a boot argument to your kernel or set the changer to 
LUN 0
on it's own SCSI-ID.

See the documentation for LILO or GRUB depending on which bootloader 
you're
using.

3583 and Linux






Hi Listers,

This is a little off topic, because it has not extactly to do with TSM,
but I'll give it a try:

I've got two Linux boxes (one with RHEL AS 2.1 (kernel 2.4.9-e.27smp) and
one with RHEL ES 3 (kernel 2.4.21-9.0.1.ELsmp)), both have an 3583-L36
(with 2 LTO2 drives) attached on an Adaptec 39160.

On both systems I can see the drives and the changer in the BIOS of the
Adaptec. However Linux on both systems can see both drives, but refuses to
see the changer (which is on LUN 1 of the first drive).
I've tried virtually everything but to no avail.

Has anyone got this combination working and knows what the trick is?

Greetz,

Richard.
