1. Install "mtx"
2. Use "tapeinfo" to identify each device: e.g.:
# tapeinfo -f /dev/sg0
3. Is it see whatsoever?
dmesg |grep scsi
4. Assuming so, is there a tape in the library and it is in the first slot.
# mtx -f /dev/sg(x) load 1 0
Substitute x with your library, actually, is it a library? If not then use
"mt" instead:
mt -f /dev/st0 load
mt -f /dev/st0 status
tar -cvf /dev/st0 /some-directory
Anything?
What does cat /proc/scsi/scsi say?
Anything seen?
Do you have the aic7xxx driver loaded?
