Thanks, for the info.

It's Qlogic QLA2432 cards through a Pathlight bridge to the LTO-1 drives in
an ADIC scaler 10k.

I was miffed that I couldn't address the drives successfully through the
/dev/nstXX entries but I think I've seen the light. 

I've added persistent binding, we're rezoning to get the drive count below
32 (default linux max drive setting), and the volume manager install created
the necessary links in /dev/st & /dev/sg that seem more useful than the
other ones.

On the road to success I think.  Should have it working by mid-afternoon if
all goes well.

Sure.  Have RH 3.0ws running on a blade system with Fibre controllers 
connected
to a Chaparral bridge to an L80 with 2 Seagate LTO Gen I drives.  Not 
sure what your
hardware config is, but the LTO Gen I is seen as a viable "st" device.  
Just make sure
the st module is available as well as the scsi_mod, sg and whatever 
module works for
the SCSI/FC HBA you are using.  Do you see the drives at the BIOS level 
during bootup?
Check the physical and low level stuff.


Thanks
