Hello, amanda-users,
today I removed a LTO-3-drive from a gentoo linux server, with its
accompanying SAS-Controller-Card, and built it into a shiny new Fuji
TX1330M3 running debian linux 9.1 (with latest updates).
lspci shows
02:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 2008
[Falcon] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Fujitsu Technology Solutions RAID Ctrl SAS 6G 0/1 (D2607)

Kernel modules: megaraid_sas
Problem:
even after installing mt-st, scsiutils etc and repeated reboots I don't
get any device files (/dev/nst? /dev/st? /dev/tape* etc)
Even a mknod or modprobe st does not help:
# mknod /dev/st0 c 9 0
# mt -f /dev/st0 status
/dev/st0: No such device or address
Any advice?
The drive was reconnected twice, I checked all the cables, for example
inserting a tape leads to working motor etc
The drive worked in the gentoo server without problems for years now.
Maybe I have to install something else?
What I see:
#dmesg
megaraid_sas 0000:02:00.0: Failed to init firmware
Do I have to install some binary blob?
Thanks for any help, Stefan
