SCSI Hot plug Tape Drive

[Andrew Elliott]

Problems with HP surestore DAT 72 drive, here's what happened:

 

Drive died (/dev/st0)

Removed drive

Rebooted

 

Drive no longer shows up in /dev/st0 or /proc/scsi/scsi

/sbin/lsmod shows that the drivers are still loaded

 

Is there a way to rescan the scsi bus?

 

If the device doesn't show in /proc/scsi/scsi do I need to recreate the
device?

 

Rebooting is a last resort option at this point (24x7)

 

Thanks.
