Hello.....I work at a small university in North Texas. I am new to the Unix and
Linux environment. We recently had a server that went down and we rebooted,
however, it is not recognizing our HP SureStore DLT backup driver we use.
When it boots up, it gives me the following.....

My interpretation of this is that it is recognizing the scsi. Apparently from
what I have heard the DLT40 will show up as Quantum. This is also a
question..????
When I query the Proc/scsi/scsi file, or do SCSI_INFO, It gives me the
following:
> more scsi

When I try to tar, mt, cp or do anything that involves backing up to the drive
it gives me 'no such device'.
I guess my two questions are
1. How do I get my HP DLT SureStore 40e to be recognized and
2. Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to back up a file
to a scsi-based DLT drive? Is there specific kernel configuration script
I need to run to get a Redhat Linux-based server to drive a HP DLT 40?
The things I have not done yet are try the 'dump' and/or do a cron.
I have posted to this list before and am very grateful for the effort of
everyone on this list to help.
