Tape backup

[Magnus Andersen]

I had issues with my HP DL380s and tape drives.  It had to do with the cciss
drivers that HP use.  I didn't see the devices if I look at
/proc/scsi/scsi.  The fix was to echo the following in to the cciss driver
files in /proc.  I made it permanent by adding the lines to /etc/rc.local

echo "engage scsi" > /proc/driver/cciss/cciss0

Once this was done the system saw the tape scsi devices accuratly and the
device files were created.

HTH,
