RE: Compaq Integrated SmartArray Quantum DLT4000

I had not been following this thread until now but...

Several years ago I built two AntiSPAM/Virus gatways on DL380 G3's. Both had
DLT's attached.

At first these were attached via the 5i controller. Later after much hair
pulling, I ended up adding in an Adaptec card for them.

I don't know whya, but the DLT would just not work on the 5i's.

Good luck,

-Erin

I was physically at the machine yesterday with the SmartStart CD
in hand, but as I was about to boot off that CD thought it would
be only useful for setting up drive arrays...not the tape drive.
So I didn't pursue it. I'll have to check it out later today...

I'll let you and the maillist know,

Hi All,

I'm running several Compaq Proliant DL360 servers, all with
FBSD
6.0-RELEASE.

One of these has an internal Quantum DLT 4000 (that's how
the
BIOS identifies it) tape drive. I need to use it, but can
find
no evidence of this hardware in the dmesg output.
. . .
The system sees the integrated controller and uses ida0 to
id
it, but does not see the tape drive.


If it's anything like my old proliant, the tape drive
is on ncr0 or ncr1 (or sym[01] any of which are the
on-board scsi controllers), which do not appear to probe
on your system. If your tape drive is cabled to
ida0 or ida1, you'll probably need to resort to the
array controller firmware or CD, depending, and
set it up from there.
