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? How can I get Linux to recognize these tape drives?
