Hi
Our servers are Redhat 9.0 with kernel version
Linux kedar.ghen.net 2.4.20-8smp #1 SMP Thu Mar 13 17:45:54 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
We have recently bought the PowerValult 112 tape drives from Dell. We have to
install it for the tape backup..
In the server already 'aic7xxx' module is installed.. So i need to know how i will
configure the tape drive..
Here is the 'lsmod' report ::

Should i need to mount the drive and reboot the server? Also i need to know
how i will add the tape drive with the server boot list..
I was trying with my home linux box which is also redhat 9.0.
the aic7xxx module was not instlled.
i installed the module with the , rpm, now it is installed. While i
am checking the /etc/modules.conf i am getting the entry
*alias scsi_hostadapter1 aic7xxx* .. But I am not getting any entry while
i am checking with "lsmod" here is the "lsmod" report of my home server..

Our production servers file systems are all with /dev/sd[1 - n] and my
home server's file system is /dev/hd[1 - n]..
I want to check the aic7xxx module for tape drive both at my home box
as well at the production servers..
Help is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance
