Backup server SCSI setup problem
I have been asked to set up a backup server using a "hand-me-down" HP
SureStore DAT24X6 tape drive.
The SCSI Card is an Adaptec 1944UW
I installed debian stable on the computer, which has an IDE drive. I
had to leave the SCSI card out during the initial install, as the
installer kept wanting the SCSI card to be controlling a hard disk
debian would be installed on - and I only need it for the tape drive.
I also don't have an extra SCSI drive lying around....
Once the OS was on, I put in the SCSI card, connected the tape drive
(with SCSI termination) and started it, and then booted the computer. On
POST (pre-grub), I went to the SCSI utilities via CTRL-A. The SCSI
card showed up on SCSI ID 7, but no other devices showed up. the id on
the tape drive is set to 5
I let it proceed through booting. It saw the card and and loaded
aic7XXX driver.
The driver and SCSI modules show up with lsmod
No devices though.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for any help.
