Looks like you need to load the driver first? The tape drives are hooked up to a fiber mesh/network or directly to the tape drives? If they're hooked up to a fiber network you need to zone the drives.

Hi,

What do you get from "lsscsi" command?

If you run Qlogic HBA you could run "scli" and scan the buses for the drives
to see if the zones are correct.

Does the host see them?

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

All,

I need some pointer on how I get my tape drives recognized by my Linux
server running SLES 9.  We are trying to add a Linux server into our
environment as a Media Server and am having difficulty getting the OS to
recognize the tape drives.  I have open support call with Novell and
Symantec and am getting nowhere fast.  Any ideas would be helpful...

Thanks,
