Hi guys and girls,

I am currently busy testing a TSM server (5.1.5.4) under Linux (RH7.2). I
have a 3590-B11 attached to the machine. The only device that shows up in
/proc/scsi/scsi is:

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00
  Vendor: IBM      Model: 03590B11         Rev: A429
  Type:   Sequential-Access                ANSI SCSI revision: 03

When I run IBMtapeconfig it creates the special device files /dev/IBMtape0
and /dev/IBMtape0n. Since I want to configure the 3590 as a library would I
not also need a device for the media changer? The docu says there will be a
device called /dev/IBMchangerX for libraries. However, no such device shows
up when the adapter scans the bus. I was setting the 3590 to random mode as
well as random 2-lun mode still, there is no changer device visible. What
can be done, did someone of you ever test this beast with Linux??

Thanks Lars
