what do you see when you...

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

If it isn't there, then your O/S isn't seeing the drives, check your
zones again.  Also, are you using the included qlogic driver to the
kernel (which distro and kernel are you using?)  or have you installed
the qlogic Linux drivers?  There shouldn't be a "driver" for the LTO3 drives,
it should be seen as a SCSI "st" device and the NBU install should set up
the SG driver correctly.

There are also great docs included with NBU for this.
I would also help when asking questions to supply all
the data needed:

- -O/S version and architecture?
- -NBU version and MP level?
- -which qlogic cards?

Thanks
Peter
