Hi Folks: I've run into some difficulty getting a DDS-3 tape drive running under Red Hat Linux 8.0. This is a used but working drive I picked up on Ebay. The server has an Advansys ABP940U controller, and the drive is a rebadged Seagate STD224000N, which appears to linux to be an Archive Python 04106-XXX. The drive shows up successfully in dmesg, but not in /proc/scsi/scsi or scanpci. mt doesn't recognize st0 or nst0, even after manually loading st.o. I've since tried other configurations via the switchbank, rather than the jumpers (except to terminate the channel). I've set the SCSI ID to 5 (controller is 7), MRS to on, parity off, DDS pass-through off, Inquiry string on (reports Seagate now rather than Archive) and POST off. The 9 and 10 dips are for UNIX configuration. Unfortunately, nothing on the Seagate site refers to using these switches with Linux. Anybody have any ideas?
