Can you see the changer with the command "cat /proc/scsi/scsi"

If not, i am not sure about RHEL 5.5 but in 4 we used to follow the following steps:

Add following line in /etc/modprobe.conf

“options scsi_mod max_luns=255”

“options scsi_mod scsi_noreportlun=1”


Then create new initrd file…..

cd /boot


Rename initrd file

e.g. mv initrd-2.6.9-42.EL.img initrd-2.6.9-42.EL.main


mkinitrd initrd-`uname –r`.img `uname –r`

e.g. mkinitrd initrd-2.6.9-42.EL.img 2.6.9-42.EL

At the end REBOOT your Linux box.

and again you have to re-scan. using first command cat /proc/scsi/scsi


Thanks,

Saran

Does anyone have any experience configuring a StorageTek SL500 and the Linux version of NBU?  I have the StorageTek connected to a Dell 2950, running RHEL 5.5 32-bit.  It’s connected via SCSI and the SCSI card is being recognized by the OS, so now it’s just a matter of getting NBU to recognize the SL500.  Does anyone have any tips or pointers for this type of setup?
