Hello to all,
We just recently upgraded from RH ES 3 to RH ES 4 using a Dell PowerEdge 2850 
server. Our tape library is an ADIC Scala 100 with 2x IBM LTO-2 Ultrium tape 
drives. Somehow after the upgrade, when I issue nsrjb commands and inquire, it 
will take at least 5 minutes before it starts doing anything. On the previous 
version I was advised to use the IBM Tape driver for the tape drives, but with 
the new O/S here is what Tech. Support wants me to do (obviously they don't 
know anything about the Legato binaries, so I will just ignore that part).
Any comment or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance,

Case Title       : missing devices RHEL 4
Case Number      : 1336376
Case Open Date   : 12-MAR-2007
Problem Type     :
Last Update Comment as of 13-MAR-2007 12:28:05   : 
After taking a look at your sysreport, it looks like you still have all of the 
tape stuff install:

IBMtape
lgtoman
lgtoclnt
lgtonode
lgtoserv
lgtodrvr

You will need to remove all of these, reboot, and let anaconda rescan.  To 
access your tape library, you will need to install the mtx package (up2date 
mtx) and use the mtx command to handle which drive is being controlled.
