Run the 'dmesg' command or watch the /var/log/messages and look for that entry.

You can also try to view the /proc/devices file. (but I'm not sure if a tape device is listed in that file)
SCSI devices are listed in /proc/scsi/scsi.

"cat /proc/scsi/scsi" - the tape device is one of the "Sequential Access" types.

I have Redhat 8.0 installed on a Dell Poweredge 4200. This machine has a SCSI 4mm DAT tape drive. I would like to use KDAT which comes with the RedHat distro. Does anybody know how to find the name of the tape drive and weather it even exists?

Thanks....
