Make sure you have probe all LUNs set up in your kernel config. - Nick Reinking chrisp at dusk.bitstream.net, on 02/28/2001 03:00:54 PM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org @ PMDF cc: Subject: [TCLUG] Tape changer woes Hello, We've got a VA 2230 (very nice machine, btw) with an Adaptec 2944 SCSI adaptor in it. Connected to that is an Adic VLS SDX tape library system. Here is the relevant dmesg output on this device (note also our other SCSI interfaces, with hard disk and CD burner): === (scsi0) <Adaptec AHA-2944 Ultra SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 0/11/0 (scsi0) Wide Channel, SCSI ID=7, 16/255 SCBs (scsi0) Cables present (Int-50 NO, Int-68 NO, Ext-68 YES) (scsi0) Downloading sequencer code... 423 instructions downloaded (scsi1) <Adaptec AIC-7896/7 Ultra2 SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 0/12/0 (scsi1) Wide Channel A, SCSI ID=7, 32/255 SCBs (scsi1) Downloading sequencer code... 396 instructions downloaded (scsi2) <Adaptec AIC-7896/7 Ultra2 SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 0/12/1 (scsi2) Wide Channel B, SCSI ID=7, 32/255 SCBs (scsi2) Downloading sequencer code... 396 instructions downloaded scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.1.28/3.2.4 <Adaptec AHA-2944 Ultra SCSI host adapter> scsi1 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.1.28/3.2.4 <Adaptec AIC-7896/7 Ultra2 SCSI host adapter> scsi2 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.1.28/3.2.4 <Adaptec AIC-7896/7 Ultra2 SCSI host adapter> scsi : 3 hosts.

Sectors= 71722776 [35020 MB] [35.0 GB] === The problem is that the tape library is supposed to appear to the OS as two devices: a tape drive and a `jukebox' to control the changing of the tapes. As you can see, all Linux is seeing is the tape drive, and not the jukebox. Does anyone have any clues? The SCSI card's BIOS can see both devices, tape on SCSI ID 1 and the jukebox on ID 3. We tried moving the tape drive to ID 4, but that made no difference. This is kernel 2.2.16.
