I have been trying to install HP Storageworks DAT72 on CentOS 5 in vain. On system reboot, neither /dev/st not /dev/sg is available. May you please lead me through as this is my first time trying to do it

What does lsusb show? Just a thought; did you check in the BIOS if there are USB options (legacy and such)? Maybe install 'HP StorageWorks LTT' (Library and Tape Tools); it might help testing...

JD

I use a lot of tapes but never a USB, but from my knowledge I would try

lsusb

then read the output and look at the id's, find the one that has the usb tape drive attached to it, then use

lsusb -vv

and find the matching id to get more info.

You could also try:

modprobe usb_storage

then

modbrobe st

and then do

"lsmod | grep storage" "lsmod | grep st"

that they are loaded (st should require to load the scsi stuff too). You could also look into /dev and look at the major numbers (from memory 9 is tapes??).

ls -al /dev/tape/by-id

and

ls -la /dev/.udev

and look through all of those.

check whether there is something with "usb-st" or so.
