Hi
Do you see the device in the output from dmesg or from the command;


sudo /usr/sbin/hwinfo --tape

run the command you’re saying but I do not throw anything

/usr/sbin/hwinfo --tape

Hi
So what about dmesg output (SCSI, tape etc), anything there? Anything
from the output of;


mt status

hi, I ran the command and this is what threw me

mt status

mt: /dev/nst0: rmtopen failed: No such file or directory

Hi
Can you confirm the device is seen;


dmesg |grep st0

It may be called something else…

Hi
So the SAS controller is seen?? Not a setting in the BIOS that needs to
be activated? Can you advise the controller model? What is the output
from;


lsmod
