This LSI Config Utility shows up 2 adapters as follows Adapter PCI Bus Dev/func Port IRQ NVM Boot Order LSI Logic Control RAID Status LSI1030 2 29> CC00 11 YES 0 enabled -- LSI1030 2 28> C800 7 YES 1 enabled -- We have tried altering some of the settings but nothing seems relevant. The LSI MegaRaid utility where we setup the RAID is equally unhelpful, but i would appreciate any advice in regard to what i should be seeing in these tools as my hardware knowledge is only basic. Should I be able to see the tape drive itself in the LSI Logic utility? In regard to the tape drive Im Not sure exactly what you mean by "Powered on". It has power connected and we have tried booting with a tape inserted. It seems to function correctly in terms of loading tapes/lights etc. We have not altered any of the jumper settings as we assumed that it would have been setup correctly. I booted with the w/o the tape hooked up and it booted fine. Hooked up the tape and the following is the output of the camcontrol rescan all command Re-scan of bus 0 was successful Re-scan of bus 1 was successful Re-scan of bus 2 was successful Re-scan of bus 3 was successful Re-scan of bus 4 was successful Re-scan of bus 5 was successful Re-scan of bus 6 was successful Re-scan of bus 7 was successful camcontrol devlist -v shows scbus0 on amr0 bus0 scbus1 on amr0 bus1 scbus2 on amr1 bus0 at scbus2 target 6 lun 0 (ses0 pass0) scbus3 on amr1 bus1 scbus4 on mpt0 bus0 < > at scbus4 target -1 lun -1 () scbus5 on mpt0 bus0 < > at scbus5 target -1 lun -1 () scbus6 on mpt0 bus0 < > at scbus6 target -1 lun -1 () scbus7 on mpt0 bus0 < > at scbus7 target -1 lun -1 () scbus-1 on xpt0 bus0 < > at scbus-1 target -1 lun -1 (xpt0) I have had to transcribe the above so please forgive any errors. Had no success upon reboot.

When you say "had no luck with BIOS"- that means you can see it no problem in the LSI Config utility? First- is the tape drive powered on? Also- try this experiment: boot w/o the tape hooked up. If all is well, connect the tape and do, as root, 'camcontrol rescan all'.
