Dear All thanks for the replies Rainer That's a tape not a SAN, and there is no fiberchannel. Just an SCSI tape attached to outside ports of an LSI SCSI adapter(a pci card). Does that something to do with hp_rescan utility? Isn't hp_rescan only for Emulex HBAs? If not, Where could I find the rpm or tgz package? John R Pierce I don't think that SCSI ports outside(behind) the server chasis be for smart arrays? Are you sure? -- Mehdi Sarmadi On Sat, Jan 3, 2009 at 11:59 PM, Rainer Duffner <rainer at ultra-secure.de> wrote: > > Am 03.01.2009 um 20:54 schrieb Mehdi Sarmadi: > >> Hello >> >> I do have problem using Linux with an external HP tape drive.
