"camcontrol devlist" is not showing anything so it is at a level below the driver. FYI - after spending 1.5 hours on the phone with dell we determined that the onboard 7899 controller is bad. I have been troubleshooting a hardware problem. We only got it to show once at boot time in bios after a NVRAM wipe. The PERC controller will not support the tape drive itself. This is the reason the sa driver is not picking up the tape drive.
