Probably it is connected with a SCSI interface.
If so, get the SCSI id of the tape lib and use mtx (http://mtx.badtux.net/).
If for example it is on the first SCSI adapter, first ID you can run:
mtx -f /dev/sg0 status
For example, to see what are your SCSI adapters:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
For each adapter check what are the devices attached:
ls /proc/scsi/<adapter>
etc...
Bottom line, the starting point is to find what SCSI adapter do you have
and then find the device id for the tape and tape driver to identify the
scsi device : /dev/sg<number> . The the tape driver (probably different
from the tape library - not sure for this model) will be accessible from
/dev/[n]st<tape_drive_number>
