Hi steven I use Tape 40i for DL380.And I do not have SCSI card for connect tape device. DL380 have 5i raid card and I used it's internal channel on my tape. Thanks
The Linux HP smart array driver does not support tape drives (disks only). If you want a local tape drive you must use a PCI SCSI controller to connect to the tape. Or you can use nfs
I have ProLiant DL580G2 and DL380G3 servers with Compaq 20/40 DAT tape drives running Red Hat Linux 7.3 Professional. In both cases the tape drives are attached to the internal Compaq 5i smart array. When setup a couple years back, I just had to make sure the proper driver (cciss) was installed, and - this is important - make the following addition to the boot process:
cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local -------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh # # This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts. # You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't # want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
# ===== Local Modification (Jared Middleton) 12/11/02 ===== # In order for the SCSI tape drive to work with the Compaq SMART # Array Controller, the Compaq cciss driver must dynamically engage # the SCSI core via the /proc filesystem after initialization. # For more information see: # /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.4.18/cciss.txt
for x in /proc/driver/cciss/cciss[0-9]*; do echo "engage scsi" > $x done --------------------------------------------
