Re: Any way to use ide tape drive on linux?
Hmm interesting, it's a seagate travan tapestor. I don't know what else I would try besides generic.

Re: Any way to use ide tape drive on linux?
Have a look at the module "ide-scsi" - it makes IDE devices look like SCSI devices. After loading ide-scsi - if you see the tape drive in /proc/scsi/scsi - then TSM will be able to see it - but remember, TSM on Linux doesnt support "GENERIC TAPE" - so if tsmscsi doesnt recognise the drive (from the drive ID string), then you probably wont be able to use it. I'd be interested to know how you go... ...deon --- Have you looked at the A/NZ Tivoli User Group website? http://www.tuganz.org Deon George, IBM Tivoli Software Engineer, IBM Australia Office: +61 3 9626 6058, Fax: +61 3 9626 6622, Mobile: +61 412 366 816, IVPN +70 66058 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ibm.com/tivoli Steve Ochani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 28/10/2003 05:32 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject Any way to use ide tape drive on linux? Hello all, I'm trying to use a seagate IDE tape drive on linux, linux recognized it as /dev/hdf and it works but tsm's driver seems to be only for scsi drives. If I use /dev/hdf in the device path command TSM cannot access it and gives me an I/O error. Thanks for any help
