Hello, I have RHEL 6 Linux running as a guest under z/VM 6.1 on our z10 BC. It has the following 3590-H tape drives assigned in the z/VM directory:
DEDICATE 1500 1500 MULTIUSER DEDICATE 1501 1501 MULTIUSER DEDICATE 1502 1502 MULTIUSER DEDICATE 1503 1503 MULTIUSER A query command shows the drives are attached to the Linux guest: q 1500-1503 TAPE 1500 ATTACHED TO ZLINUX1 1500 R/W NOASSIGN MULTIUSER TAPE 1501 ATTACHED TO ZLINUX1 1501 R/W NOASSIGN MULTIUSER TAPE 1502 ATTACHED TO ZLINUX1 1502 R/W NOASSIGN MULTIUSER TAPE 1503 ATTACHED TO ZLINUX1 1503 R/W NOASSIGN MULTIUSER However, the lstape command shows no drives: FICON/ESCON tapes (found 0): TapeNo BusID CuType/Model DevType/Model BlkSize State Op MedState SCSI tape devices (found 0): Generic Device Target Vendor Model Type State I found the driver here: /lib/modules/2.6.32-131.17.1.el6.s390x/kernel/drivers/s390/char/tape_3590.ko What am I missing?
